Crestwood Community School (known as Crestwood College prior to its name change in August 2017) is a coeducational secondary school, located in Eastleigh in the English county of Hampshire.[1] Crestwood is a split-site school, operating two campuses on Shakespeare Road and Cherbourg Road.

It is a community school administered by Hampshire County Council,[2] which coordinates the school's admissions. The school specialises in Business and Enterprise.

Crestwood Community School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.[3]

The school operates two SEN resourced provisions: a Specific Learning Difficulties provision on the Shakespeare Road campus and a Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs provision on the Cherbourg Road campus. The SEMH provision is delivered in partnership with Cherbourg Primary School.[4]

In March 2016, it was announced that the nearby Quilley School would be closed and that Crestwood would expand — as of September 2016 — to deliver 11–16 education across two sites.[5]
