Down High Preparatory Department was established in 1937 and is an integral part of Down High School.   The School was originally located in the Gatelodge before moving to its current location within the main school.

Down High Prep is co-educational, interdenominational and children from all cultural and religious backgrounds are welcome. 

Values and Ethos

In the Preparatory Department we aim to:

  • provide a stimulating learning environment to achieve their full potential
  • encourage children to become happy, confident learners within a caring, supportive setting
  • foster a positive partnership amongst pupils, teachers and parents
