ETTING O OWNSEND G T T

St Albans - - Barnet – - Bedfordshire

Townsend School takes children from many areas – close to the school in and much further away. We are very good at supporting children who join us as many come as the only person from their Primary School. Over many years we have developed great support strategies with children settling quickly and feeling welcome and happy within days of arriving.

Travel to Townsend School from many areas is simple and convenient. The school is well-served by the road network, public transport and school buses. Students travel from all parts of St Albans

District and from other towns and villages over a very wide area.

In recent years Townsend has regularly recruited students from over 70 different primary schools and children travel daily to Townsend from a very wide area.

We have had students from many areas including –

Abbots Langley, Barnet, , , , Chiswell Green, Heath, , Edgware, Elstree, Enfield, , Great

Gaddesden, , Hatfield, , Kimpton, , , Lemsford, Leverstock Green, , Luton, , , Park Street, , , , , , , St Albans and District, , Garden City, .
