Durham Community Business College (DCBC) is a coeducational secondary school located in Ushaw Moor, County Durham, England.

DCBC is a community school under the control of Durham County Council. It has specialisms in Business and Enterprise and Technology and has additional facilities for the specialisms.[1]

The school offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils. The Durham Studio Sixth Form is located on the same site as DCBC, and offers sixth form courses for 16 to 19 year olds.[2]

DCBC is part of the Durham Federation which also includes Fyndoune Community 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]
