Downside School is a co-educational Catholic independent school boarding and day school for children aged 11 to 18. It is located in south-west England, in Stratton-on-the-Fosse, between Bath, Frome, Wells and Bruton, and is attached to Downside Abbey.
Originally a school for English Catholic boys, it was established in 1617 by English and Welsh monks, living in exile at Douai, France.[2] The monastic community returned to England in 1795, with both the community and its school initially housed in the Shropshire home of Sir Edward Smythe, a former pupil. By 1814, the abbey and school had been re-established at its present site, in Somerset. Downside School became fully co-educational in all year groups in 2005.
