A Gentle Transition to 11+ Boarding

S9:E6 - Welcome to the Downe House Podcast where you can learn more about Downe House School. If you’re nervous about sending your child to boarding school, particularly at age 11, then this episode is a must listen for you. We're focusing on boarding in our Lower School (Years 7 and 8) and how we support our pupils (and parents!) to transition to boarding in the gentlest and most seamless way possible. We work together with parents to ensure boarding works for your family and your unique circumstances.

Our host, Simon Jones, is joined by Miss Anna Lister (Housemistress of Hill), Sydney in Remove (Year 7) and Ms Karen Coles, Headmistress of Sarum Hall, one of our popular feeder schools in London.
