Year 7 Tutor Team
We are delighted to welcome you into our new year 7 cohort. The transition from Primary school to Year 7 is an exciting journey into young adulthood in which our students will embark on a range of challenges and develop new skills along the way.
Director of Learning – Mr Hawkins
We appreciate that this is a time of great change for young people and we are here to guide and support them as they move towards, and through their teenage years.
Secondary school offers new curriculum opportunities, facilities, subject experts and a range of Co-curricular clubs, trips and experiences.
We want our students to continue to develop their love of learning and to be inquisitive, empathetic and show resilience throughout their time with us. Every child matters at Townsend Church of England School and we are proud of our inclusive approach for all children. All students will be supported by a form tutor.

My role as Director of Learning for Year 7 is to ensure that students feel safe, meet expectations, are happy in relation to all aspects of life at Townsend Church of England School and ensuring students are rewarded for demonstrating our core values which are; “Respect For All”, “Achievement For All” and our Bible-based vision “Love Your Neighbour”.
Here at Townsend Church of England School we place real emphasis on developing a growth mindset, which involves encouraging resilience in students to overcome any challenges which they may face both inside and outside of the classroom.
I am very much looking forward to working with parents and carers to support your children in their transition to our school in September and genuinely cannot wait to get Year 7 started on the next steps of their educational journey.
