Townhill Primary is led by Mrs Janine Pirouet in a Joint Headship with Inzievar Primary School. There is 1 depute headteacher, Mrs Jilly Murray, who has overall responsibility for primary 4 – 7, acting depute Mrs Cara Cook who has responsibility for P1– P3 and Mrs Claire Martin, from Inzievar oversees the Nursery.  We have 8 classes who each benefit from time with an art teacher.  We also offer brass instrumental tuition from primary 6. The very active nursery is staffed by 1 teacher and 6 early years officers.

We have high expectations for all of our pupils, and we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, both sporting and musical, for all our pupils.

We work closely with parents to provide the highest possible standards of education for all pupils. We consult regularly with parents, welcoming all valuable contributions, to ensure our school is continuously improving.

Our parent council works closely with staff in promoting the school in the community and improving all aspects of school life. Our parents are very enthusiastic and active in running fun activities for the children and parents, as well as fundraising activities.

Built in 1875, and modernised in July 2011, the main school building houses 6 classrooms, a games hall,  a music and drama hall, which doubles up as a dining hall, a staff base and a library.  Our new 4-class extension opened in January 2011 and joins the school with a glass link corridor. A purpose-built nursery is situated to the rear of the school. A controlled entry system operates on all external doors.  There is a large tarmac playground, a shelter, a grass area and a soft surface area with picnic tables, another shelter and climbing equipment.
