The Downs Church of England Primary School

Our amazing school believe that 'nothing is impossible' for every member of our community.
During their time with us we ensure that the needs of every child are met through our continued discussion and review of the provision we make. As we believe in the idea of life-long learning, we provide a curriculum that is rewarding, enjoyable and personalised.
We know that engaged learners are successful learners!
Our highly skilled staff members celebrate the successes of the individual using our learning and Christian values as the foundation for growth.
Our rich learning environment, with its caring and happy atmosphere, allows every child to fulfil their potential and grow in self-confidence. Children learn to show respect for others and the world that God created.
