Downside is our private preparatory school for girls and boys aged 5 – 11 years.

"I try to ensure that life at Downside Lodge is as exciting and challenging as possible and I'm sure that's why our boys and girls have achieved so much over the past few years.

Academic results have been excellent and pupils have gained entry to many leading senior schools including Caterham, Trinity, Whitgift and of course, Commonweal.

I look forward to showing you our school and introducing you to some of our inspirational teaching staff".
