tweens & teens Downe House Nuturing the Next Generation D owne House is one of the few full boarding schools for girls in the UK, with 580 pupils aged 11 to 18, set on a 110 acre estate in Berkshire, 45 minutes from Heathrow. As well as a commitment to academic aspiration, Downe distinguishes itself on the strength of its pastoral care, providing an exceptional environment where girls are nurtured every bit as much at weekends as during the school week. Forty different activity options are available for them to choose from. As a fully global school, its pupils hail from 28 different countries. International students, who make up 10% of the school roll, join a vibrant community with exciting possibili- ties for friendship, learning and experiences beyond the curriculum. Girls are encouraged to embrace opportunities to enrich their educational journey and are supported to stretch themselves in sport, music, art and drama as well as academic subjects. With exchange links with more than 12 schools around the world, an extensive charity support programme and opportunities such as Duke of Edinburgh, our girls are prepared for life and leadership.
