The Trustees are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Science for the Laidlaw Schools Trust of which Sedgefield Community College is a part, with effect from September 2021.
Would you like to progress your career under the guidance of a school judged by OFSTED as ‘outstanding’? As an NQT or RQT, would you like to have a low teaching load and the personal support of a dedicated and outstanding teacher as you develop your practice? Would you like to receive an above average starting salary and subsidised home/school transport? Would you also like to accelerate your development through having the opportunity to teach and develop in a range of different schools that are part of the Laidlaw Schools Trust, which consists of Sedgefield Community College, Academy 360 and Excelsior Academy at Secondary level? If the answer to each of these questions is ‘yes’ and you wish to progress your career under the direction of an outstanding and supportive Science faculty, mentor and subject leader, then we think we have an opportunity that could be right for you.
We particularly welcome applications from those who are relatively new to the profession and those who will newly qualify in 2021.
If you are someone who has the ability to engage and enthuse students with a love of Science, coupled with the drive and commitment required to become a truly outstanding teacher, then we would like to hear from you.

Named in the Sunday Times list of the UK's top 50 schools (11 to 16), Sedgefield Community College is now firmly established as one of North England’s consistently highest performing schools, with a reputation for outstanding and creative teaching and learning allied with strong, successful leadership. Whilst we are proud of our reputation as a highly successful school, as measured by its examination performance, we also take immense pride in the reputation we have for developing outstanding teachers and leaders.
In March 2017, Sedgefield was subject to an OFSTED inspection and as a result judged to be outstanding in all respects, however this significant achievement did not signal the end of the school’s commitment to achieving ever improving standards in all aspects of its work, rather it has merely acted as the catalyst for further progress.
Our student's attitudes to learning are excellent, with OFSTED going so far as to describe student conduct as ‘impeccable’. The high standard of care and support we provide our students has over time created a tangible bond between students and staff and as a result relationships between adults and students are such that we can confidently describe our students as welcoming, respectful and thoughtful and Sedgefield as a ‘happy’ school.
Having moved into our stunning new school building in 2011, we recognise how fortunate we are to have such a superb learning environment and the facilities that it provides. Whilst an impressive building does not necessarily equate to an outstanding school it certainly plays its part in supporting the culture of high standards and excellence that permeates everything that we do.
