We look forward to welcoming new students into our enlarged 6^th 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. Next 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 6^th 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*, A and Distinction grades.  

Please come to see us on Wednesday 5th March (starting at 1.30pm). You’ll get a chance to hear from and meet pupils who have joined us in recent years as well as a chance to find out more about our A-Level options. We'll share information about our careers programme which will help you to prepare for your next steps and we hope you'll be impressed by our extensive extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities.

On arrival, please enter the school by the main entrance.

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