Downlands Community School

Welcome to our School

Welcome to Downlands Community School, located at the heart of Blandford Camp, where we pride ourselves on creating a safe and friendly environment for children to learn and grow. Our extensive grounds provide ample opportunities for sports and playtime, ensuring that your child can develop both physically and socially.

At Downlands, we understand that many of our pupils change schools frequently, which is why we take great care in ensuring that every child settles in quickly and happily. Our experienced and dedicated team work hard to make the transition as smooth as possible, both educationally and socially, so that your child can flourish in our school community.

We are a friendly primary school catering for children aged 3 to 11, offering a broad and balanced curriculum that covers all core subjects as well as a range of additional opportunities to stimulate your child’s curiosities and passions. Our goal is to provide your child with an engaging and enjoyable learning experience, whilst nurturing their individual talents and strengths.

We believe that every child is unique and deserves the best education possible, and we strive to achieve this through our personalised approach to teaching and learning. Our school values underpin everything we do, promoting kindness, respect, resilience, and responsibility.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our school community, where we aim to inspire a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
