“This is our faith;
this is the faith of the Church. We are proud to profess
it in Jesus Our Lord.”
Downside has a special place
in the hearts of many Catholics. For nearly four hundred
years we have been privileged to receive children from
many different backgrounds and countries and to offer them
a Catholic education.
Through the sacraments, prayer,
catechesis and example, in the classroom and out of it,
we seek to inspire pupils to love God and to express their
love in generous service of others.
Over generations, we have seen
how, as children grow in faith, their academic work improves,
their lives become more fruitful, they form better relationships
with others, they contribute more generously to the life
of the community, and they are prepared for the joys and
tribulations of adult life when they leave Downside.
Downside warmly welcomes families
and children from other Christian denominations, but we
ask them always to remember our distinctively Catholic
nature.
