Carmel College (formerly Carmel RC College) is a Catholic secondary school on The Headlands in Hummersknott, Darlington, England. It also has a sixth form, Carmel College Sixth Form. Following an OFSTED inspection in 2024, Carmel was graded as outstanding in all categories. It is part of the Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust (formerly Carmel Education Trust) which includes 35 schools in the North East Region.
The current principal is Melanie Kane, with deputies Sarah Thornton and Monita Atkinson.
The college includes various Catholic aspects, such as a Chapel, student-led liturgies during morning form and weekly masses in the Chapel, crucifixes in each classroom, and liturgy assemblies at the end of each term. Notably, at the end of each year, Carmel hosts a large end-of-year mass, where the entire college gathers in the sports hall at the same time to celebrate the liturgy together.
