The school opened on 1 September 2010, with a new £24 million building being built on the Egerton Park site as part of the borough's £300m Building Schools for the Future project.

The school is an amalgamation of two other schools in the area that closed on 31 August 2010: Egerton Park Arts College and Two Trees Sports College in Denton.

In December 2022 Denton Community College was rated Inadequate by Ofsted[1] after being reported as Good in 2015, Ofsted cites as "pupils [being] suspended from school due to disruptive behaviour, physical violence and defiance towards staff."

Like all except two schools in Tameside LEA, it has no sixth form.
