Sixth Form Open Afternoon  - Wednesday 11th March 2026

We look forward to welcoming new students into our enlarged 6th Form in September. Down High offers a large menu of post-16 courses, including traditional A-Levels and Applied A-Levels. Please click on the link below to find out more about our 6th Form courses. 

Excellent pastoral support and careers guidance are central to all that we do in Down High School, and our extensive range of extra-curricular and other enrichment activities make 6th Form a wholly rewarding experience. So many pupils who joined our enlarged 6th Form have left Down High with the qualifications, knowledge and skills needed for further education and the world of work, with many achieving A* and A grades.  

On Wednesday 11th March we will hold a Sixth Form Open Afternoon when guests will have an opportunity to tour the school and meet with departments to explore potential pathways. More details will follow closer to the time. 

On arrival, please enter the school by the main entrance on the Strangford Road.

Please contact the school if you have any queries about admission into our Sixth Form or the Open Afternoon.
