Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

Parent/ Carer Survey
On Thursday 12th March, you should have received an email with a link to the parent/ carer survey for Townley Grammar School that was mentioned in last week's communication. As mentioned before, we would welcome your feedback so that we can ensure we are providing the best possible education for your child(ren) so we encourage all parents/ carers to complete this. The survey will close on 26th March at 11am.

Surveys for staff, students and parents/carers
Our Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) from Bexley Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) is collecting responses via a short survey which aims to understand parents’ and carers’ views and experiences of mental health support in this school. The results will form part of a project for his clinical training at Kings College London and hopefully will help build a clearer picture of how support is currently working and where improvements may be helpful:
