Downside is renowned for the
quality of its music.
The Schola Cantorum (choir)
provides the choral music in the Abbey Church and has
topped the charts with its CDs The
Abbey and Gregorian
Moods and there are several chamber choirs.
Orchestral and chamber music
also flourishes at Downside, with frequent concerts and
weekly recitals.
Academic results, both at
A Level and GCSE, have been excellent. Each year the
School awards a number of music and choral exhibitions
and scholarships at 11+, 13+ and 16+, details of which
may be obtained by clicking here.
