A school with a sporting pedigree

“I love the facilities...  particularly the dance studios, the gym, the excellent squash courts and the huge swimming pool!”
Charlie Whitehead

Supported by specialist staff and visiting coaches, our sports provision is considerable and includes lacrosse, netball, hockey, tennis, swimming, squash, gymnastics, athletics, cross-country and trampolining.

We have extensive playing fields, which accommodate six lacrosse pitches and seventeen tennis courts, a first-class sports hall with fitness and dance studios, an indoor heated swimming pool and three glass-backed squash courts.

In addition to house competitions and school fixtures, Downe House girls regularly represent their county, region and country.

Encouraging a love of physical activity, we instil a competitive spirit and promote the importance of teamwork.
