Denstone College

A huge well done to every pupil who continues to balance academic life with sport, the arts and outdoor pursuits - always with a smile, whatever the challenge. Last night we came together for our Lower School Celebration of Sport, recognising the teams and individuals who have made such an impact on sport at Denstone. A brilliant evening of achievement and pride.

Denstone College is proud to announce our Captains and Vice-Captains for the 2026–27 academic year.

Congratulations to Perdy and James on being named Captains of School, with Liv and Elliot appointed as Vice-Captains. We look forward to seeing their leadership and dedication inspire our community over the year ahead.

Instrumentalists from the Prep and College were incredible on Tuesday evening. A mix programme from Coldplay to Schubert was performed with 100% professionalism at our Junior Soloists’ Concert. Very well done, especially to those prep pupils who took it all in their stride. The future is musical.

Exciting news! The Prep has been named as finalists for THREE awards at Education Choices Awards 2026!

We're thrilled to be recognised in the following categories:
