The Headteacher and staff are dedicated to helping students succeed and the house system is a great way to build confidence and teamwork.

"Mixed Experience"

We moved to the area and joined Desborough College part way through the year. The admissions process was a bit tricky to navigate, but the staff were helpful and welcoming. Our child is enjoying the school and the facilities are great, but we've had some issues with communication from the teachers and the school's policies can be a bit confusing.
