I know some schools that are giving out results at 8:30am. Why is this such a big deal? My daughter has applied for Medicine which is extremely competitive so Clearing is a realistic consideration. Some universities put out an online form at 8am to apply for Clearing. Clearing is notoriously a first-come first-serve system. By giving results at 9am, Townley put students at a disadvantage to other students whose school give results earlier. The ex… *(Aug 2025)* - **1/5** — Racist staff members.: On cultural day, I wrote something in a randomised language and then it apparently translated to something bad. Teacher believed that one of my classmates was involved because they are from the country the sentence I wrote was in. Teacher knew I wrote it but thought that the other student was involved too. *(Jul 2025)* - **1/5** — BAD for your mental health: If you are willing to sacrifice your mental health for townley then go ahead. If not, then read on. Townley likes to act like they care so much about student's mental health- and for some students that is true, but keyword SOME students. They pick and choose the students that they want to support with their mental health so that they can be poster children for townley. If you're not one of the lucky ones then too bad you'll just have to suffer. If you get bullied, then you might as well just mov… *(May 2025)* - **1/5** — sending your kids here is saying you hate them: If you care about your child in the slightest, you won't send them here. This place is a breeding ground for all kinds of issues. The students are taught to be aholes from the beginning. The teachers are nasty. Some teachers have some sort of anger issues and decide to take it out on us. The whisper tool is about as useful as a rock. You walk into that "school" and your smile slowly curves into a frown They get resources and don't even use them correctly. If you're planning on sending your child… *(Feb 2025)* - **1/5** — horrible: i have literal trauma from this school, the staff bullied me to the point of disgust. my experience at this school keeps me up at night and will do forever. worst decision of. my. life. *(Jul 2024)* - **2/5** — Former student review: They only cared about you if you were a potential Oxbridge candidate or wanted to medicine. Anyone else were given little attention. Image was more important than actually educating students. *(May 2024)* - **1/5** — I mean, just dont bother at this point: i mean, the friendships i have made are amazing but like, my mental health has deteriorated so much. one girl who keeps talking abt me behind my back, side eyeing and spreading lies about me around the school has made it much worse, and the amount of homework i get is unbelievable. they now have a one way system, but its really not gonna help traffic blockage in the corridors, the toilets are the grimmest places you can ever imagine, and the amount of pressure they put on you to get A grades is … *(Feb 2024)* - **1/5** — Mental health disorder factory: My experience from Year 7 to 13 was appalling. This is a racist, misogynistic institution where teachers themselves go as far as to partake in the bullying and alienation of students. A logistical nightmare with poor disorganisation and next to no student support. In terms of academics, a good percentage of the time, we taught ourselves. The few good teachers brightened the experience of select classes but in terms of leadership and management it was a catastrophe which seems to have only gotten… *(Feb 2024)* - **1/5** — TOWNLEY IS NOT A GREAT SCHOOL: I HATR THIS SCHOOL THEY ARE A BUNCH OF STUPID ISLAMAPHOBES *(Jan 2024)* - **3/5** — PERFORMING ARTS: Okay so this is a great school IF you want to do a lot of sports and preforming arts(art, music, drama, dance exc.) but they don’t do that much for mental health and stuff if something happened with bulling or something that just do an assembly like it will stop anything. The performing arts department is a 5/5 , sports probably a 3.7/5 but the rest of the school eh 2/5. OH AND THEY PROMISE YEAR 7S THAT THEY DONT GET HOMEWORK OR A LOT OF HOMEWORK IN THE FIRST TERM BUT SOMEONE I KNOW WHO ARE IN Y… *(Oct 2023)* ## Other schools in Bexleyheath - [St Columba's Catholic Boys' School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/st-columbas-catholic-boys-school-13954) — 1.4/5 (7 reviews) - [Gravel Hill Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/gravel-hill-primary-school-19281) — 3.0/5 (6 reviews) - [St Catherine's Catholic School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/st-catherines-catholic-school-13184) — 1.9/5 (5 reviews) - [Pelham Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/pelham-primary-school-14637) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [St Thomas More Catholic Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/st-thomas-more-catholic-primary-school-22523) — 4.6/5 (4 reviews) - [Barrington Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bexleyheath/barrington-primary-school-18200) — 3.2/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
