The Denstone Foundation
 
Denstone College, established in 1868, and opening its doors in 1873, carries with it a rich legacy rooted in the visionary ideals of its founder, Canon Nathaniel Woodard. Canon Woodard’s own journey was a testament to the transformative power of education. Over a century later, Denstone College remains committed to Canon Woodard’s profound vision. His legacy lives on in our dedication to creating a culture of giving.

The Denstone Foundation is integral to Denstone College, with a mission of critical importance: to widen access to education for those who need it most.

Imagine Tomorrow: A letter from the Head

We understand the profound impact of bursaries. For many of our students, the prospect of a Denstone education would remain a distant dream without the vital support of financial assistance. It is with great enthusiasm that we introduce you to “Imagine Tomorrow”, an ambitious campaign that will enable us to continue our mission of expanding access to education for children, irrespective of background, whilst protecting our heritage buildings, and building for the future.
 
One in every seven pupils at Denstone College benefits from means-tested funding, facilitated by our needs-blind approach. Yet, for every pupil we support, there are many more we turn away, young minds we believe could greatly benefit from the transformative education we offer. With your invaluable support, we aspire to broaden our reach, welcoming more children into our community, extending to them our award-winning pastoral care, and offering opportunities that would otherwise have been beyond their grasp.
 
Our school has always been a place where dreams are nurtured, potential is unlocked, and lifelong bonds are formed. Our commitment to creating an inclusive and vibrant environment runs deep throughout all that we do. Imagine Tomorrow is an embodiment of hope, a testament to our belief in the potential of the next generation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your support, and we look forward to embarking on this transformative journey together.

Yours sincerely,

Lotte Tulloch
