We help each pupil, one-to-one, to do this. Above all we want their education here at Downside to be exciting, and to explore new subjects and oppor tunities. We have specialist teachers in all the subjects you would expect. We teach the Sciences (Chemistry, Physics. Biology) separately, and we encourage all pupils to study a modern language. Our Head of First to Third Forms is responsible in ensuring that every child is regarded as an individual; suppor ted, stretched and challenged where required. Separate timetable courses in Ar t, Music, Drama, Design Technology, Computing and SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual, Cultural) offer our pupils possibilities that could, and often do, lead a lifetime interest.
