A New Era at Surrey Downs

Modern, flexible learning spaces designed for collaboration, creativity, and inclusion

Improved accessibility and safety across the entire site
-
Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces that connect learning with nature

"From the moment our family joined Surrey Downs Primary School, we felt welcomed and supported. The staff genuinely care about each child, not just academically but emotionally and socially too. We've seen our child grow in confidence, resilience, and kindness—all thanks to the school’s nurturing environment and focus on strong values like respect and empathy. We love that the school teaches not just 'what' to learn, but 'how' to be a good person. It's a community we're proud to be part of."
