Desborough ​College

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Desborough School, a place where academic achievement and personal development go hand in hand. At Desborough, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to flourish, both academically and personally. Our vision is to develop ethical future leaders the Desborough way—young people who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world.

Our dedicated team of staff work with unwavering commitment to create an inspiring and supportive environment, encouraging every student to reach their full potential. Our pupils are remarkable individuals who embody our core values of courage, kindness, respect, and leadership, alongside a steadfast commitment to excellence. Together, we foster a community where learning is celebrated, and character is developed in every aspect.

As proud members of the Pioneer Educational Trust, we benefit greatly from the shared expertise, resources, and collaborative opportunities within the Trust. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver a high-quality education, enriching the experience of our students and staff alike.

We are also delighted to share that, in May, Ofsted awarded Desborough a ‘Good’ rating, affirming the quality of our provision and the hard work of our entire school community.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about Desborough School. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or member of the community, you will find that Desborough is a place where potential is nurtured, and leaders are developed.
