Sedgefield Community College
Stockton-on-Tees, TS21 3DD · County Durham · secondary school
4th of 30 secondary schools in County Durham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.2/10 against 900 of them, against 7.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.24 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.3 · 66 | 30% | 1.98 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.36 · 76 | 25% | 1.92 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.5 · 76 | 10% | 0.76 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.36 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 981 pupils in a capacity of 975, meaning it is over capacity by 6. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist when it is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who need to catch up in English and maths? How has the Outstanding rating from 2022 been maintained in recent years?
