Denstone College was founded by Canon Nathaniel Woodard in 1868 and was incorporated in 2004. The Charity is a Limited Company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Woodard Corporation. The Governors are the Directors of the Company and are elected to hold office for 5 years initially, with 5 yearly renewals thereafter.

The college is governed by the Governing Body which operates using several committees and meets as a Full Board (including college Head and Bursar) at least 4 times a year.

Membership of the Governing Body is diverse, including Old Denstonians and individuals who have children who are ODs or who are currently in the college. The Chair supported by the Full Board will at times appoint individuals who may not have previous or current association with the college, but who deliver alternate, relevant skills and competence.

The day to day management of the college is delegated to the Head and Bursar, supported by the Senior Management Team (SMT).

The objective of the Full Board is to ensure appropriate and professional governance of the college ensuring the highest standards of delivery. The board, together with the SMT, look to ensure that the college is anticipating and responding to the global environment in which it operates.

The Full Board looks to ensure a strong and appropriate mix of skills amongst its members with national and international background and competence. The Governors’ details are as follows:

• Nigel Ratcliffe (Prof.) B.Pharm, Ph.D, DMS, FRPharmS (Rtd), FRSB, CBiol, PFHEA, FTOPRA(Rtd), FCMI (Rtd). Appointed 2017 Chair of the Board (Custos) - Chair of the Board
