Salesian College was a Voluntary-Aided Roman Catholic school in Battersea, London, for boys aged 11 to 16, and based on the educational principles of St John Bosco. The educational philosophy of John Bosco can be condensed into three words: reason, religion, and kindness. The basic principle of his system was a deep understanding and love for young people and the problems they face in the world.
After 116 years as a boys’ school, Salesian College closed on 31 August 2011. Saint John Bosco College, a mixed school, opened on 1 September 2011, replacing the two existing Catholic secondary schools in Wandsworth (John Paul II School being the other), and specialising in Business and Modern Languages.
