Ties With The Berkshire College of Agriculture
As part of the wide choice of options available when a year 9 student makes his decision on what to study for his GCSE course over the next two years, Desborough has outlined options for students who prefer a more practical type of course or one that will stand them in good stead should they decide to go into public services. As a school it is not possible for it to provide such courses within it so it has made links with the Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA), which provides the desired courses for them along with transport to and from the institutions twice a week. Examples of these courses include sports coaching, construction, public services and others. Students who elect to take a course at the BCA can only do that one off campus subject a week with their remaining two options taken at Desborough from the selection of 'in-house' subjects.

Famous quotes containing the words ties, college and/or agriculture:
“I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.”
—George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
“The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“In past years, the amount of money that has had to be been spent on armaments, great and small, instead of on productive industry and agriculture and the arts, has been a disgrace to all of us in every part of the world.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
