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]
