Desborough School
Desborough College is a secondary school with academy status located on Shoppenhangers Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. Until 2009 it was solely an all-boys school; however, the Sixth form has since become co-educational. It was founded as Maidenhead County Grammar school in 1894 under its first Headmaster Mr A. E. Brooks. In the 1970s due to reform in the Royal Borough that stated all schools must convert to comprehensive status, it changed its name to Desborough school after Lord Desborough, a prominent Maidonian. In 2012 it became Desborough College after being granted academy status.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
