Opening September 2025

Launching in September 2025, Downsend Sixth will offer the best of both worlds.

Our brand new, purpose-designed, off-site campus in central Leatherhead will provide an exceptional A Level experience, whilst also creating an environment for students to grow, test their boundaries and build confidence for university and career success.

A brand new campus

Downsend Sixth will be a unique space for young people. Innovatively and thoughtfully designed, the scheme is designed to provide a pre-university or workplace feel.

Unique spaces

Intelligently designed to provide exceptional spaces for specialist subjects, larger lectures and small group work as well as stylish and modern places for socialising, Downsend Sixth is going to be a very special place.

Specialist spaces will be equipped with the latest technology and equipment. Two Science Laboratories, an Art and Creative Space, an Innovation Suite, and modern lecture rooms and breakout spaces will all be brand new for September 2025.
