The Downside App is a new way of connecting with us. It has news, events and dates for the Abbey, School and OGs all in one place and easily accessible as well as news from the Head Master. There are push notes for event reminders, announcements and changes to fixtures as well as all the important staff contact details, direct dial numbers and emails, which can be accessed through your phone or tablet. A changing gallery of photographs gives a Downside overview and for those who have never visited the Abbey Church or School, maps will bring you straight to our door. You can book events via the online shop, place comments about an event and upload photos. The Downside app will become an essential and invaluable portal for up to date information, with everything you need to know and is particularly useful for current parents. Founded in 1606 in Douai, France, Downside moved to its current location in 1814. It is now one of England’s oldest and most distinguished Catholic schools and became co-educational in 2005. The Abbey Church is a significant feature at Downside and can be seen far and wide on the Somerset hills as well as being an important place of worship for the School and local community. Pupils leaving Downside become Old Gregorians, which is a thriving international network. Our App brings the Community together.
