Egglescliffe School & Sixth Form College is a large Coeducational secondary school and sixth form located between Egglescliffe and Urlay Nook in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England.^[1]

Beginning as a small rural secondary school of 200 pupils in 1962, Egglescliffe became a comprehensive in the 1970s, gradually growing to its current size of over 1400 pupils, including sixth formers. There have been six headteachers since it opened: Frank Davison, Alan Basset, David Oliver, Angela Darnell, Simon White and Lindsay Oyston. In 2010, Darnell was awarded an OBE for "services to education".^[2] In 2012 the school celebrated its 50th anniversary.

In 1999, Egglescliffe was awarded Specialist Status and designated an Arts College specialising in music and drama, since then refurbishment of the music block has transformed the interior structure of the department. Its Music Department has a longstanding reputation for performance work. The school has also been designated a National Teaching school. These are outstanding schools which have been nationally recognised for their capacity to support and help other schools to improve outcomes.^[3]

In July 2014 Egglescliffe school was condemned by the government for breaching its own anti-bullying policy after a complaint from a parent whose daughter had attempted suicide.^[4] The Department for Education found that Egglescliffe school was at fault as it failed to properly record bullying incidents against the victim. The Department for Educations finding said "The headteacher also confirms that no incident forms had been completed for 12 months. No evidence has been provided to confirm that any of the incidents that this pupil reported were recorded using the Eportal or incident form methods. The department considers this to be a breach of the school’s own anti-bullying policy."^[5]

In 2018, Gareth Parry, a music teacher, was found to be having sexual relations with an underage student at the school.
