Fyndoune Community College is a coeducational secondary school located in Sacriston, County Durham, England. Previous names have included Sacriston Secondary Modern School and Fyndoune Comprehensive School.

Fyndoune Community College is a community school under the control of Durham County Council. It also has specialist status as a Humanities College[1] and has additional facilities for the specialism, including a school farm.[2]

Fyndoune Community College offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.

The school is part of the Durham Federation which also includes Durham Community Business College, and used to include Durham Studio Sixth Form.[3] However both schools are currently in special measures due to an inadequate rating from Ofsted,[4] and Durham Studio Sixth Form was closed in 2014.[5]

In 2015, Anne Lakey (Chief Executive of the Durham Federation) was jailed for eight years after being found guilty of 13 counts of indecent assault after sexual allegations concerning two schoolboys in 1980s. [6]

In April 2017, Mrs Alison Jobling was officially appointed as Headteacher of the Durham Federation.
