We cannot recommend The Downs highly enough; we only wish our children could stay until Year 13!

Open days

There’s no better way to explore our school, meet some of our staff and of course, see our children in action, than at one of our Open Days. If you get a great feeling, that’s a big tick in the box and a great place to start when picking the right school for your child.

Book your visit

We'd love to welcome you to our school. We normally offer at least one Open Day each term. Our upcoming Open Days are:

Summer Term Open Day

Friday 10 May 10.00am - 12.00pm : School in action tour

Alternatively, if you'd like to see the school sooner, or you're not able to make our next Open dates, you can request a personal tour at a time to suit you.

What to expect

A flavour of what’s on offer from an Open Day visit to our school.

Friday Open Day – School in action

Friday 10 May: 10.00am - 12.00pm

If you want to be a fly on the wall to get a snapshot of real daily life at The Downs, this is your chance. You’ll have a student guide on hand to show you a wide range of activities and lessons taking place. You’ll see teachers in their natural habitats and have the chance to ask plenty of probing questions!

At the end of your visit, you’ll get to have a cup of tea with our senior leadership team. They can offer insight into the future vision of our school or discuss anything still on your mind.
