Description

The podcast where we discover more about Downe House School. Whether you're new to our community or an old friend we'll be delving deeper, sharing stories and finding out what it really means to be a pupil at Downe House. There is no typical Downe House girl but there are seven key characteristics which girls develop through all aspects of school life which we call our Downe House DNA. If you have any questions please do contact the school through the main website.
