De La Salle School Ghyllgrove, Basildon, Essex, SS14 2LA Enabling each student to flourish and realise their potential De La Salle School, Basildon, was founded by the De La Salle Brothers in 1972. Known then as St Anselm's RC Comprehensive, the school served families of Basildon until 1996 when it changed its name to De La Salle School.
St Jean-Baptiste De La Salle founded his first schools in the seventeenth century and his core Catholic principles run through all the work we do today. These Lasallian values make De La Salle School the perfect choice for all families in Basildon and the wider community. We strive every day to develop students academically, spiritually and pastorally.
De La Salle has offered me many opportunities and help me thrive. I am happy to participate in multiple activities and I feel part of not only a community but a family. This school is always so positive and supportive when it comes to education. All extra-curricular activities have helped me progress with my studies and my confidence.
