Upper Second Form Year 8 (Age 12 -13)
Boys and girls are
admitted in all Year Groups as boarders and day pupils
when places are available.
Step 1
Visit Downside at an
Open Day or arrange a private visit with the Registrar.
Step
2
Complete a Registration Form
(online or from the Prospectus) and send it to the Registrar.
Step

Year of entry: applicants
sit an assessment in English, Mathematics and general
reasoning, usually six months prior to entry, although
this can be taken at a later date. The assessment is
usually held at Downside but assessment papers can be
sent to schools overseas.
Downside obtains reports and
references from the applicant’s current school and will
arrange to interview the applicant if this has not already
taken place.
Step 4
Confirmation of entry.
Parents are asked to pay a £900 deposit to confirm the
acceptance of their child’s place. £450 is returned
against the first term’s fees, the remainder against
the final bill on leaving Downside
