downside school 曾經有考慮,但睇過D介紹,agent video片, 宗教味濃厚, 學費比較平,男仔boarding 無門,D學校同住宿設施好舊（唔知現在有無番新）

阿仔在DOWNSIDE SCHOOL讀了兩年，他很喜歡這學校。學校雖然舊，但環境很好，地方大，同學比較純品。他去年是YEAR 10，宿舍全翻新，雖然無門，但男仔之間無所謂。今年YEAR 11，有獨立房間，舊，但他沒所謂。同學間很老友，幾乎每天放學也會到同學房間串門子。老師和HOUSE MAMA也很關心學生。阿仔話學校比屋企更似一個家。
讀書方面，學校比較HEA，不會谷學生讀書，所以成績不會比得上A工廠，但香港學生多數成績也不會太差。我反而覺得這氣氛更能讓小朋友享受BOARDING的生活。
阿仔以前在香港的BAND 1 神校讀書，競爭大，壓力大。去了DOWNSIDE SCHOOL雖然無讀書壓力，他反而多了動力自己學習，性格和待人相處也成熟了很多。
感覺上他終於找回快樂的"童年"，我自己非常欣慰。

回覆 sleung2020 的帖子

就是因為本身在香港的學校競爭太大，越讀上去，成績表越難睇。惟幸阿仔英文根底不錯，所以就算滿江紅DOWNSIDE也肯收 (當然我相信只要肯俾錢，NON SELECTIVE的學校一定肯收)。現在讀了兩年，成績表終於可以見得人，阿仔自己也有返動力讀書。去DOWNSIDE基本上是"洗底"，拉返成績表。
我本身工作很忙，所以找AGENT幫忙，現在阿仔讀了兩年，我自覺沒有"上賊船"。AGENT也是做生意，哪有人無錢賺來幫你? 總之各取所需。
有時間的自己多上網做下研究功夫當然更好，我也相信不少學校可以自己報讀，不用假手於人。

我最後都係揀左佢，因為佢哋回覆offer時寫左篇野話阿仔zoom Interview時講左d咩嘅情況，考成點，都幾長篇，感覺好有心，感覺好照顧學生，而其他就只係話你知有offer

IICSA Report

Following investigation into the English Benedictine Congregation, including Ampleforth College and Downside School, among other institutions, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) published a report in August 2018.Ten people connected to the two schools, mostly monks, were convicted or accepted a caution for abuse. The report said that appalling abuse was inflicted on pupils over a period of 40 years, but the schools tried to cover up the allegations. The chair of the inquiry, Alexis Jay, said that for decades the schools tried to avoid giving any information to police or authorities, with monks being "secretive, evasive and suspicious of anyone outside the English Benedictine Congregation", prioritising "the reputation of the Church and the well-being of the abusive monks" over safeguarding the interests of pupils. In 2001, after new procedures were introduced following the Catholic Church's Nolan Report, which recommended that abuse should be referred to the statutory authorities, monks gave the appearance of co-operation and trust, but in reality continued to cover up the abuse. A 2018 statement on the school's website embraced the findings of the Social Care Institute of Excellence (SCIE) audit, completed in March 2018, and released a revised and stringent Child Protection Policy. Andrew Hobbs, formerly the acting head, and designated safeguarding lead during the audits and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), was appointed headmaster of Downside in September 2018.

At that time the school did not have a separate legal status from the abbey, so the monastic trustees had financial and executive control of the school. The governors provided general direction and management.

In May 2020 it was revealed that in the time following the release of the 2018 IICSA report regarding child sex abuse at Downside School, the school had experienced significant financial problems due to spiralling legal costs, and, to raise money, had been forced to sell some of its Renaissance paintings.
