GCSE Exam Results: 2021
Here at Townsend, we are very proud of the exam results each individual has achieved, especially after a disturbed period of learning during two national lockdowns. Results continue to rise due to the hard work and dedication of our staff and students. The average grade was a grade 5, and our progress 8 score was +0.04, indicating that students are making expected progress in comparison with other students nationally, who have the same starting points in Year 7.
