Welcome

Downside Primary School is an established five form entry school, which opened in September 2011.

We are a big school, but we work hard to ensure that we create a welcoming, caring atmosphere – where all children are praised and developed as individuals.  Downside Primary School was judged to be a ‘good’ school in our most recent Ofsted inspection – January 2019
