Sixth Form Intake Day | Thursday 21st August from 9.30am

6th Aug 2025

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. This year's Sixth Form will be the first to enjoy our brand new, state-of-the-art facilities on the Strangford Road. 

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.  

Please come to see us on Thursday 21st August (starting at 9.30am) at the Strangford Road. We'll have lots of support available to help you explore the courses we have on offer and to assist you in making choices for your future. We would ask that you bring along your GCSE results and Attendance Record for 24/25.

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

Please contact the school or visit our Sixth Form Intake Page if you have any queries about admission into our Sixth Form or the Intake Day.
