Sedgefield Community College is a highly regarded 11 – 16 secondary school whose success reflects its ethos and culture of high expectations and quality, coupled with creativity and innovation. However, an outstanding school is about so much more than results alone. We are outstanding due to the quality of the experience and opportunities that we provide for our students each and every day. We are certainly extremely fortunate to have a new, contemporary and inspirational school building, together with all of the resources it brings. Our building will contribute to our success for many years to come, enabling us to continue to evolve and develop in a way that schools less fortunate will find difficult to do. Despite this, our wonderful building does not make an outstanding school it merely houses one.
