Experience days | Downe House School

Experience Downe House

Each year, Downe House hosts an array of events and workshops for younger pupils to give them and their teachers an experience of what life is like at Downe House. From orchestral fun days to sports masterclasses, there is an experience for pupils of all talents and abilities, with each day geared to towards complementing the curriculum in their own school, whichever path they have chosen to follow, PSB or Common Entrance.

“Great memories were made, great expectations were met and great ideas for the future were sown.”
