It's not all work, work, work at Downside

Children painting at Downside

All Downside pupils get a chance to regularly take part in non-academic activities and they do so with great pride and enthusiasm - and have a lot of enjoyment and success in the process.

Downside has its own sports hall and gym, tennis courts, netball courts, football and cricket pitches with everyone encouraged to take part in a wide variety of sports and games including our popular inter-house competitions and sports days.

There is also a full schedule of performances and displays from our busy Music, Drama and Art departments where we have a long tradition of encouraging self expression and creativity.
