Join our community

Right from the start, Downe House families are encouraged to get to know one another facilitated by the annual Parents’ Drinks Receptions held in London and Parents’ Lunches at Downe House for each year group as well as regular invitations to concerts, drama and dance productions, Medley Lectures, sports fixtures, Founder’s Weekend, charity events and Parents’ Meetings.

A partnership with parents

Effective and regular communication is the key to building important relationships within any community. Teaching staff provide regular and detailed reports on academic matters and there is an annual Parents’ Meeting which gives you the opportunity to sit down with your daughter’s teachers. Perhaps most important of all, you will be in close and regular contact with your daughter’s Housemistress and Tutor who will keep you up to date with all that is going on in her everyday life.

More generally, there are weekly and termly newsletters that will keep you up to date with what’s happening during the week and at weekends and there is a wealth of event information in our Parent Hub. You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Instagram for photos and everyday insights into school life.

We aim for the best pastoral care possible, where each girl feels safe and secure in the knowledge that home and School are unified in our support of her.
