Co-Curriculum
THE CO-CURRICULUM
Co-curricular activities, clubs and societies at Downside provide vital experiences and opportunities, introducing pupils to new experiences, new life skills and new friends. All pupils participate in the co-curriculum programme which runs throughout the week and at weekends. With over 100 options to choose from, there is something for everyone – from adventure and sports to creative arts and service.
Weekends
Weekends are busy and purposeful at Downside. Pupils are engaged in a wide variety of activity options: clubs, games, sporting fixtures, socials, trips out, performing arts events and Sunday Mass. With all this on offer there is never ‘nothing to do’.
Trips
Pupils benefit from a variety of trips throughout the year including academic trips to CERN, Cornwall, London, Bristol, Bath, Paris or Rome, outdoor learning and Downside Adventure holidays to Blenheim Forest, the Ten Tors challenge, Skern Lodge in Devon, Cheddar Reservoir and retreats to a variety of locations including Buckfast Abbey and the Ammerdown Centre.
