Southwark council are proposing to close down Townsend primary school by September 2022. This "decision" is because apparently there are falling numbers in pupils in the area therefore less funding.

They have recently closed another of our local schools; St. Johns, why were they not offered Townsend when they knew numbers were low? Why could they not go ahead with the amalgamation of Victory school? 

Townsend primary is a safe, loving, caring and passionate school. Our children enjoy learning here and the staff are dedicated and passionate about their roles in ensuring our children have the best start in life and catering for all childrens needs. 

It is a school which has a very large community of parents, children,and staff; past and present who class this school as their second home. Past pupils and their families have fond memories of this school and the children here now are  happy here, you only have to ask the children. 

This is already having a detrimental impact on parents and children and if this goes ahead it will have such a negative effect on our youngsters. Our children and our communities have suffered enough with pulling our local buildings down left right and centre, all for their financial gain. Please support guys, WE CAN SAVE TOWNSEND!
