On behalf of the Trust Board, I am delighted to inform you that we have appointed Ms. Sarina Totty as our permanent headteacher and CEO, with immediate effect.

After a rigorous recruitment process, it was clear that Ms Totty was the best placed person to continue to move Townley Grammar school forward with its well-deserved reputation for academic excellence and outstanding opportunities for its young people to develop into wellrounded individuals who can make a substantial contribution to society.

The recruitment panel were impressed with Ms Totty’s personal commitment to the school, her strong values and dedication. We are confident that she will work effectively with our experienced and supportive staff.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr K.W. Moody
