Sedgefield Community College is a highly successful 11-16 school located in County Durham.  Our students join us from the village of Sedgefield and also many other local towns and villages in the area.  We pride ourselves on the way a very comprehensive intake of students comes together as one strong school community.  Our vision at Sedgefield is summed up by the phrase ‘Achieve at Sedgefield’ and we work tirelessly to support all students to achieve excellent progress in every sense of the word.  Our success in achieving this vision has resulted in the school being extremely popular for a number of years and this is reflected in very high student numbers.

We are very fortunate at Sedgefield Community College to enjoy exceptional facilities in our state-of-the-art buildings and also a fabulous school site.  Of course, any building is secondary to the people who are to be found within it.  We have a brilliant staff team and we all share a number of common values that inform the way we work each day.  Primary amongst these is the fact that we want all of the team at SCC to be positive about their role every day.  At times we will face challenges, but with our highly skilled team, we know we can overcome these to provide the exceptional education that our students deserve
