Sixth Form Entry 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.  

For interested pupils who were unable to make our Sixth Form Open Afternoon in March, we will be providing a tour of the school on Monday 22nd June at 1.30pm. To book a place on the tour, complete the form at the following link: https://forms.gle/NXB6iMMYCjZQZhhi7

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 or this tour.
