Laidlaw Schools Trust

Sedgefield Community College is a member of the Laidlaw Schools Trust - a growing family of schools in the North East that aims to transform the lives of children and communities through inspirational education.

About Laidlaw Schools Trust

Laidlaw Schools Trust was founded in 2008 to provide inspirational education to secondary school pupils in Newcastle. We now provide extraordinary education at eleven nursery, primary and secondary academies in Newcastle, Sunderland and Sedgefield, and are set to grow further.

Read more about our academiesWe ensure that every child shines, irrespective of background or presumed ability.

From their very first day to their graduation ceremonies, we fill the heads, hearts and hands of our pupils, so they leave us with the qualifications, personal qualities and aspirations to succeed, whatever the future holds.

Our excellent SATs, GCSE and A level results show the effectiveness of the Trust’s focus on qualifications, and the high standards of teaching and learning across all our schools.

But education is about so much more than academic excellence. It matters that our pupils are physically healthy, mentally robust, ethically resilient, digitally savvy and have the skills and attributes that “future proof” them for a changing world.
