Welcome to Downsend

We’ve always known a great education is about every child achieving their best, and that best looks different for everyone. So from our nurseries in Surrey right up to our purpose-built Sixth Form, we start from a simple idea. Every child is brilliant at something and our job is to help them find it and empower them to thrive at it.

Part of how we do that is taking sport, the creative arts and future skills as seriously as everything else on the timetable, because the world our children are growing into will ask for far more than exam technique. We give them room to grow at every age and in every direction, and along the way they come to feel known, not just taught, which is what makes a child want to keep going.

By the time they leave us, they carry the confidence they’ve grown, the curiosity they’ve found and the ambition they’ve always had, ready for whatever comes next. And the best way to see how it happens is to walk through our doors, so come and meet us at one of our upcoming open days or private tours.
