Management

Downsend School is run by its Headmaster and his team of senior staff, who retain the school's unique atmosphere. Each of the Pre-preparatory Lodges has its own Head and dedicated staff. The Lodge Heads also form part of the senior staff team and work closely with the Headmaster. The Headmaster is a member of the National Association of Head Teachers and the Independent Schools Association.

Downsend School is part of the Cognita Group, the UK's leading independent provider of day school education. The Group ensures Downsend is well resourced and provides specialist support and expertise to the Headmaster in education, property, finance and personnel.
