Welcome to Downe Primary School.  We are a caring village school at the heart of the Downe community.

At Downe Primary School we believe that all children are unique individuals with a right to a safe and happy learning experience. We are driven by our belief that children are most likely to be happy and therefore successful if they are given care, support and challenge in equal measure. Our team is united and dedicated in pursuing the very best for every child at Downe Primary School. 

We aim to provide children with a well-rounded and ambitious curriculum. High academic standards and expectations run alongside creativity, inspiration and imagination. We also have lots of fun along the way!

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.
