History
Downe House was established as an all-girl boarding school in 1907 by Olive Willis, who undertook the responsibility of being its first headmistress. The school was originally situated in Kent, in the village of Downe in the former house of Charles Darwin and his family. However, the location was too small for the school to grow and progress in academia so the decision was made to move the school to The Cloisters, Cold Ash in Berkshire. By 1921, Olive Willis completed the move to own the Cloisters' grounds and in 1922 the school was moved to Cold Ash and remained there ever since. Year 1907 (MCMVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...
