Countesthorpe Community College is a coeducational upper school with academy status, situated on the western edge of Countesthorpe in Leicestershire, England near the A426. It was established in 1972 with the notable educationalist John Watts as Head Teacher, who developed it as a progressive "open school".[1]
The college buildings are notable for their circular plan. The architect was John Barton of Farmer and Dark. The sculpture in the middle of the courtyard is one of three versions of Dunstable Reel by Phillip King.[2]
The band Kasabian are ex-students of the college.
Leysland High School and Countesthorpe Community College are part of the same multi-academy trust and are in the process of becoming a single 11-19 school in September 2016 under the name Countesthorpe Leysland Community College.
