"Room for improvement, but great potential"

We've had a mixed experience at The Downs Primary, with some fantastic teachers and engaging activities, but also some inconsistent communication and a bit of bullying. The school seems to be working hard to address these issues, and we appreciate the efforts made to create a positive school culture. With a bit more attention to detail, this school could be truly exceptional!

"A wonderful school experience!"

We had a fantastic time at The Downs Primary, from the welcoming staff to the engaging lessons and exciting extracurricular activities. My child loved being part of the house system, which really promoted teamwork and camaraderie. The only reason we moved away wasn't the school itself, but we have no regrets about our time here.
