Over the years, with our roots as a grammar school, Desborough College has always had a proud history of strong academic outcomes and a long and historic roll of honour of students attending Oxbridge and completing PhDs.
Today, as a comprehensive school, we believe all of our students, regardless of their academic starting point, background, or circumstances can achieve incredibly well. Our curriculum and teaching and learning is being redesigned to further raise achievement, but in recent years, academic outcomes have been consistently strong.
Our internal data shows that at Key Stage 4, achievement for boys is likely to be about one third of a grade higher than national average and for Key Stage 5, positive Value Added has been achieved, with an average grade of a C for A level.
The headline attainment measure of %Grade 5+ including English and mathematics stands at 53.5%, which is 8.1% higher than the national average and 4.2% higher than other schools in The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
