DOWNSIDE SCHOOL

Britain's Senior Benedictine School, founded in 1606

At Downside we share many aims and ambitions; they can be summed up as striving for the best. We expect to see this striving clearly visible in all spheres and at all levels of the School. All our resources are directed at fulfilling the individual's potential. We seek to stimulate each pupil's intellectual curiosity, to foster his desire to pursue knowledge, and to convey the excitement that learning brings. Growth in moral awareness, a love of truth, a proper use of the imagination and a commitment to hard work all flow from the Christian values that inspire Downside.
