History
The School was founded as Slough Secondary School in William Street, Slough, in 1912. In 1936, this coeducational School split into Slough Grammar School for boys (1936-1982), in Lascelles Road, and Slough High School for girls (1936-1982), in Twinches Lane. In 1982, the High School's Twinches Lane site was sold for redevelopment and the girls' and boys' schools merged into Upton Grammar School on the Lascelles Road site. In 1993, Upton Grammar School reverted to the Slough Grammar School name, and, in 2003, was formally renamed Slough Grammar School (Language College).
Former students and staff are termed Old Paludians.
