Salesian College was a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided school for boys aged 11 to 16 (previously 11 to 18, until it had to jettison its Sixth Form).

It was founded in 1895 in Battersea, London, by the religious order of the Salesians of Don Bosco, who arrived in Battersea in 1887 as part of Don Bosco's dream to establish a Salesian presence in Great Britain and the British Empire, with its missionary potential.

At the end of August 2011, Salesian College and the John Paul II School, both in Wandsworth Borough, merged to create a new school - St John Bosco College.

This opened on 1 September 2011 and occupied the Wimbledon site of the former John Paul II School.

[2] St John Bosco College moved to the old Surrey Lane site when the new buildings were completed in 2015.
