Christmas Dinner Day was a huge success — and as usual, the catering team were amazing and fully in the festive spirit 🎄
Denton Community Academy
Our Vision
We constantly focus on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is driven entirely by what is best for children.
By doing this we enhance the life chances of the children and young people in our care.
All 17 Northern Education Trust secondary academies took part in this year’s competition, researching and debating issues relevant to their local communities. Denton Community Academy delivered an outstanding performance, excelling in Round 2 of the semi-final and securing one of just four places in the grand final.
The final saw a thrilling and closely contested debate between Denton Community Academy and Thorp Academy, with both academies presenting and defending their arguments with clarity and conviction. In the end, Denton Community Academy claimed a decisive victory, winning the support of all five judges and nine fellow academies.
👏 Congratulations to all the students involved, and well done to every academy that participated in this fantastic event!
🌟 Proud Thursday 🌟
Each week we celebrate all of our students who show commitment to their learning, dedication to improvement and a drive for excellence in everything they do.
We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you.

LEST WE FORGET
They answered the call
With mighty hearts, they took a stand
In the pursuit of liberty
They died on foreign land.
Those that made it home
Carry a burden within their soul
More years behind them now
Yet stories remain untold.
We may never understand it
Few hearts can comprehend
The courage one must possess
To rise and take a stand.
So I ask of you this
Dear friends and family
How will you remember
This most earnest legacy?
Will you bow your head in silence?
Offer a silent prayer?
Let’s honour all they’ve sacrificed
For the freedoms we hold dear.
Transformational Success at Denton Community Academy!
