On behalf of the staff and pupils I would like to welcome you to the Townhill Primary School website.

You may be a pupil, former pupil, relative or someone who has just chanced upon the site. We hope you enjoy your visit. Please take time to sign our guestbook as we look forward to reading your comments.

Townhill Primary School was opened on the 1st February 1965. Now we are looking forward to our new school which is going to be built on the existing site with a completion date of 2010.

The school is situated in the Hillhouse/Earnock area of Hamilton. The building has 15 classrooms, a computer room, a dual-purpose gymnasium/dining hall and a large general purposes room. The school is set on a hill with a large grassy area to the front and hard and grassy surface playing areas to the side and rear.

Townhill Primary believes in promoting good citizenship. Qualities of self-discipline, integrity, respect and generosity are encouraged. Pupils and staff demonstrate in many ways care and concern for the wider community. Pupils are also encouraged to participate in decision making through pupil bodies such as Pupil Council, School Captains, Eco Committee and Health Promotion Group.

The school has successfully gained two Green Flags from ECO Schools Scotland and is also the recipient of a Gold Award for being a Health Promoting School.

Parents are always welcome within the school and we would be most willing to show any new parent around the building. Please contact the school if you would like any further information.

Yours sincerely,

Barbara Sefton

Head Teacher
