About Northfield School and Sports College

Northfield School has been providing high quality education for the young people of Billingham for fifty years. During this time, the school has gone through several changes. With its latest transformation now complete, pupils have state of the art facilities in which to thrive.

We are a values led school; our three core values being respect, honesty and resilience.  These core values, along with staff having the highest expectations of every pupil underpin our desire to ensure that we are able to inspire confident learners, who will leave Northfield with a really good level of knowledge, skills and experience to thrive in an ever- changing world.

In February 2023, the school was inspected by OFSTED and judged to be good in all areas. The report acknowledges the hard work of leaders, staff and governors in bringing about positive change and constructing a high-quality curriculum.  Ofsted highlights that pupils behave well and that staff and pupils get on well with strong and effective pastoral care available. 

The exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular activities offered by the school as well as its strong personal development programme are also highlighted in the report.

Northfield is a popular school. To cater for the significant demand in places, a 330 place state-of-the art multi-million pound Year 7 School was built on site and opened in September 2018.

Our 2023 examination results continued to build upon our academic success with improvements in a number of key areas. This success builds upon our other achievements such as Arts Gold Mark (Exemplary) award, Gold School Games Award, Duke of Edinburgh Award Flagship School and Holocaust Education Beacon School.  Our SMSC programme is a real strength of the school.

Staff enjoy working at Northfield. This is something of which we are very proud.  Staff well-being is a priority.  Inspectors highlighted the fact that staff value the support available to them.

The school’s reputation for sporting success is well founded. Our girls have been national champions for table tennis a number of times, the school has won the Teesside School Sports Awards for Girls and Team for the past two years. Our girls were badminton national finalists this year and our girls’ football team played in the national finals at Wembley in 2015. In 2017, the girls went one place further and became national Futsal champions.  Our pupils became national champions at Dragon Boat Racing in 2018. In 2016, School Sport magazine judged the school to be in the top 10 nationally for sporting achievement.

The school’s website contains a considerable amount of information and our pupils and staff regularly update its content. Please visit our website to find out even more about developments or access up to date information about Northfield.
