==History==
Nathaniel Woodard founded the school, originally called St Chad's College, as his flagship school in the midlands, following earlier foundations in southern England. Work on the school began in 1868 and it opened in 1873 with 46 boys, under the direction of Edward Clarke Lowe, provost of the midland district of the Woodard Corporation. The buildings were designed by William Slater and Richard Carpenter in the Neo-Gothic style. The school buildings, hall, chapel and war memorial are all Grade II listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Denstone College )〕 The school's chapel was built in 1879–87 by Carpenter and Benjamin Ingelow in a late 13th-century Gothic style; it consists of a four bay nave with polygonal apse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Denstone College chapel )〕 Land for the school was given by Sir Thomas Percival Heywood who owned the nearby Riverside Doveleys mansion.〔Raven, Michael. 2004. ''Guide to Staffordshire and the Black Country, The Potteries and the Peak''. p. 115. ISBN 0-906114-33-0〕 Sir Thomas was the school's first bursar.
The war memorial, representing St George, stands in the Lonsdale quadrangle and was unveiled in 1925. The design was by Sir Aston Webb and Son and the sculptor Alfred Drury.〔''The Denstonian''; July 1925, pp. 71–78〕 Day boys and girls were admitted in 1976, with girls’ boarding launched in two houses in 1981. A Royal and Ancient accredited nine hole golf course was opened in 1992, a new Sports Hall in 2000 and the School Room was completely refurbished as a modern theatre in 2003. A purpose-built Music school and additional classrooms were completed in 2010. A further classroom block and the new Sports Pavilion and Complex were completed in 2012, followed by a new library in 2013. Denstone College opened a Preparatory School in 1902, which moved in 1938 to its present site of Smallwood Manor, becoming co-educational and opening a pre-school department in 1983, it also provided boarding accommodation until 1997 but now is a day school for ages 2–11.
The school is divided into the following houses, named after the founders and benefactors of the school: Heywood, Philips, Shrewsbury, Meynell, Woodard, and Selwyn. Previously, there were two other houses, Lonsdale and Lowe, which now no longer exist. These were also named after benefactors of the school.〔''The Denstone Register'' (1932); pp. 387–89〕
