[edit] No good

The efforts of 139.133.7.37 are little short of vandalism.

[edit] 1983

The text says " up until 2004 it was an all boys school". Some girls appeared in about 1973194.73.96.226 10:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)CCH.

[edit] William Rees-Mogg

Rees-Mogg did not attend Downside, he attended Charterhouse. Two of his children did attend Downside, not Jacob though, and his wife is one of the school's governors (as per http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/william_rees_mogg/article1368829.ece).

Nor did Christoper Butler (onetime abbot of Downside) attend the school. He was a convert, and had been an Anglican clergyman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.179.37.3 (talk) 19:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uniform

Originally, there was no uniform at Downside. In about 1911, the current one

was introduced. It is very similar to those in Eton and Harrow. All three are black and white. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.253.153 (talk) 16:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Actually, the uniform at Harrow school is purely black and white on Sundays. On week-days, a blue element appears. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.4.21 (talk) 08:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
