Cultivating a love of learning

The privilege of educating your daughter is worth far more than including her in a results statistic. In fact, we are committed to ensuring that every young woman at Downe House leaves with a lifelong intellectual curiosity, a self-belief that she is able to embrace the challenges of further education and the world of work, and the knowledge that she is part of a passionate and dynamic school community.

We are immensely proud of the results and university destinations which our girls continue to achieve. However this is only one element of a Downe House education.

At Downe House we give every girl the time and space to discover and pursue her talents by offering an impressively broad curriculum and outstanding specialist teaching. Our state-of-the-art facilities and passion for 21st century learning enable a new kind of creativity and collaboration in the classroom and beyond.

Every girl has her own Academic Tutor

Your daughter will meet with her Academic Tutor every week in a one-to-one session to oversee her learning, discuss her academic progress and encourage her to pursue her intellectual interests.

Girls are allocated a new Academic Tutor as they progress through each of the three stages of school life from Lower School to Upper School and then into the Sixth Form.

Our learning environment is ambitious, rigorous and nurturing. Learning support is readily available and we pride ourselves on our ability to create bespoke timetables to suit each of our girls. In companion with classroom learning we are proud of a tailored academic enrichment programme, including lectures from prominent visiting academics, fascinating specialist seminars and practical revision workshops.
