Sedgefield community college
Sedgefield Community College is an 11-16 comprehensive school located in Sedgefield in County Durham.
The College takes in students from most of the surrounding villages including Sedgefield itself, Fishburn, Trimdon, Trimdon Grange, Trimdon Station, Trimdon Colliery, Coxhoe, Bishop Middleham and West Cornforth and individual students travel in from a much wider area.
The original 1960s era college buildings closed on 17 December 2010 and have been replaced on the same site with a new build school.
Unusually, the College had its own farm, dating back to the original building date. This farm had saddleback pigs, Jacob sheep, assorted hens and ducks and a range of animals not commonly found on small farms including rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs. The farm closed when the new school building was opened.
In 2003 the College was visited by American President George W. Bush as part of a visit to Tony Blair's constituency.
