Townsend’s 50th Anniversary – Townsend Church of England School

We are celebrating our 50th Anniversary of being at our High Oaks Site.

In May 1975, the official opening of Townsend Church of England School took place, combining the separate school for girls and school for boys, which both originally opened in 1933. We are organising a number of exciting activities in school this term to celebrate and mark this key milestone in our history.

As part of this celebration, we would like to collect as many old-school photographs as we can to create a timeline of Townsend over the last 50 years. We are particularly looking for whole-school, year group and form group photographs from all previous years, but in particular the first few following the opening in 1974/75.

We are happy to take copies of these pictures so that you retain the originals, as I am sure they are of sentimental value to you. If you are in contact with any former students or staff who may have these pictures, I would appreciate it if you could share this request with them. We will also be sharing on our social media platforms to hopefully reach a wider audience.

If you can help us with this project, we would be very grateful and ask that you contact the school by emailing admin@townsend.herts.sch.uk or call us on: 01727 853047 to make the necessary arrangements.

Thank you!
