At Downlands, we believe that each student is an individual, and so for each academic year we work to ensure that our students have both a greater number of choices available and real flexibility in the combinations available. Our option blocks are created when we know what combinations our students would prefer to study, and we endeavour to make the curriculum offer as personalised as possible, whilst retaining the academic rigour that will ensure long term examination success. ​
