Denton Community College

Located in the town of Denton, Greater Manchester, Denton Community College is a co-educational secondary school with places for around 1,350 pupils aged 11-16. It was founded in 2010 after the merger of two local schools, Egerton Park Arts College and Two Trees Sports College.

In 2012, having previously been spread across two sites, the school opened a brand-new purpose-built site.

Motto

Our School motto of ‘INSPIRE, ASPIRE, PERFORM’ unites us and underpins everything we do at Denton Community College. This expression forms our ethos, drives our curriculum and reminds us of our common goal to ensure all students reach their full potential.

We see it as a privilege to be entrusted with the education of young people and understand that every child is different. As an inclusive centre for learning, we never lose sight of this and are adaptable, flexible and creative with our provision.

We recognise that every child that passes through our door forms part of the future of our school, our wider community and the wider world.
