    Welcome to Downe Primary School

    We are a caring village school at the heart of the Downe community. Our school is built on strong, positive relationships, underpinned by trust, respect, and open communication. We believe that by working closely together – staff, families, and children – we create a sense of belonging and partnership that fosters confidence and curiosity in our students. Each child is nurtured, championed, and supported to reach their full potential, while being challenged to take the next steps in their learning journey.
