Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome to Downe Primary School. 

We are a proud small village school with a warm, family feel, where every child and member of our community is valued. Our school is a place where children are encouraged to thrive both academically and personally, in a safe and supportive environment.

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.

 

At Downe, we are committed to providing an inclusive atmosphere where all children feel welcomed, included, and equipped with the skills they need for a happy, fulfilled life. We aim to not only prepare them for the next stage of their education, but also to develop the personal qualities that will serve them well in every aspect of life.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our vibrant school community, and I look forward to welcoming you in person to experience the special ethos that makes Downe Primary School such a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.
