Our Vision

Downe Primary School is a small village school with a warm, family feel. We place great emphasis on positive and secure relationships built on trust, respect and clear communication. This extends to every member of the school community, providing a supportive learning environment where everyone is valued and included, championed and challenged. Children develop the personal skills required for a happy and fulfilled life, alongside the knowledge and skills required for the next stage of their education.
