Practical Information
Residential accommodation
Girls will love staying in our luxurious and modern boarding houses, we make the students feel welcome by offering a range of home comforts.
The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious and there are also large common areas where students can relax in the evenings. There are also outdoor areas available for girls to play games with their friends.
Each bedroom will be shared by 2, 3 or 4 students (of a similar age) and there are plenty of bathrooms available nearby.
Food
Food at Downe House is delicious!
Students will enjoy three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and supper. We offer a varied menu of international cuisines. All food is fresh, healthy and nutritious and is prepared every day in our kitchens by our catering staff.
Lunch and supper will mainly be a hot meal. When students are on trips, they will be provided with a packed lunch or supper. A range of snacks is also available.
If your child has any dietary requirements, please let us know in advance and we will make arrangements to meet their needs.
