Greenfield School Community and Arts College is a mixed public school on the suburbs of Newton Aycliffe. It was opened in 1974 and it has been visited by Tony Blair. It has been awarded specialist status as an Arts College. Despite claims that Greenfield is rivals with Woodham, both the schools have managed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere as they both participate in activities and courses which both schools may benefit from e.g. engineering, YA health etc.

Greenfield encourages creativity and individuality by allowing students to choose the colour of their uniform in year 11. The current year 11 of 2007/2008 have chosen Sky Blue. However, students are requested to follow strict uniform rules, such as having plain black shoes, tailored trousers, and for girls - subtle make-up only.

The school has gone to great lengths to help special needs students and their parents whenever possible. To do this, they have hired extra teachers and launched REACH (for parents) and ICAN (not only for children of special need, but also for children who have problems and would like to share them).

Mike Thornton, previous headmaster, left in 2006 to pursue his dream of travelling. His successor is Mr D. Priestly who was an RE teacher at the school.

Greenfield also has the system of prefects. The year 11 students choose for who they want to become head boy, deputy, head girl and deputy head girl.
