ISI Report
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our latest Independent School Inspection (ISI) report.
An independent, coeducational Prep School set in the beautiful North Somerset countryside, The Downs has always enjoyed a distinctive, national reputation. Our children have often been described as 'outstanding ambassador's of their school, they have regularly achieved exceptionally high standards in the classroom and on the sports fields and having carefully prepared, they have very successfully moved on to their first choice senior schools.
We are delighted that this report reinforces our reputation. Simultaneously we are thrilled that it goes on to confirm that by fulfilling our aim to provide a stimulating, invigorating, first class all round education we do so much more.
Welcome to the Downs, where pupils thrive in our 'demanding but nurturing environment'
