Admission for boys and girls
to Downside is normally at 11+ into the First Form (Year
7), at 13+ into the Third Form (Year 9), or at 16+ into
the Lower Sixth Form (Year 12). Places occasionally become
available for boys and girls for admission at 12+ into
the Second Form (Year 8)) or at 14+ into the Fourth Form
(Year 10).
Downside School’s Admissions
procedure aims to ensure that boys and girls who join
Downside School are able to be happy, successful and
secure within its academic, cultural, pastoral and spiritual
environment, whether they are boarders or day pupils.
Admissions at all ages are conditional on the successful
completion of Downside’s own assessment tests and interviews.
Boys and girls are normally members of the Catholic Church
and are expected to be comfortable with the demands set
by our Catholic and Benedictine foundation and character
but admission is not affected by discrimination on the
grounds of race or creed.

procedures and requirements.
