There is simply no value in learning for learning’s sake.

For girls to become confident, independent learners, they have to enjoy, understand and be encouraged to fully immerse themselves in a subject – all without the fear of getting things wrong.

That is why, at Downe House, we create a genuine love of learning, and use a variety of teaching methods to help each girl realise her full potential.

Only ever asking our staff to teach their subject specialism, we go the extra mile to capture each girl’s imagination and make her feel truly inspired.

Ensuring that each girl feels safe, secure and comfortable in the classroom, we create highly confident students – young women with the skills to succeed and who are committed to the importance of learning for life.
