Desborough College

Desborough College is a secondary school with academy status located on Shoppenhangers Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, England.

As part of its academy status it initially partnered with the independent Radley College, Microsoft and The John Lewis Partnership.

The school eventually moved to its present site on Shoppenhangers Road in 1910, after land had been purchased from Lord Desborough, after whom the school was eventually named.

That changed in September 1973 when it converted to comprehensive schooling under the guidenance of headmaster Leonard 'Rover' Reynolds, a World War Two veteran, who, at 21, became commander of Motor Gunboat 658, in the Mediterranean.

[citation needed] The school became an academy in October 2012 and changed its official name to Desborough College.
