Andrew Wellbeloved
Headteacher (1995 – 2023)
It is with the deepest sadness that I share with you the death of Mr Andrew Wellbeloved, former Headteacher of Townsend Church of England School. This follows a short period of ill health.
Mr Wellbeloved was an inspirational leader and educator, who dedicated over 30 years to the development and success of our school. His presence will be missed within the Townsend and wider community.
If anyone wishes to leave floral tributes then they can be placed on the lawn at the front of school. This area was a particular favourite of Mr Wellbeloved as it is where new students would plant bulbs to flower each Spring.
In consultation with his family, Townsend will organise an opportunity for ex-students and community members to pay their respects.
We will miss him deeply and send our condolences to his family.
