The Costello School is an 11–16 mixed secondary school with academy status in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.[1]
Originally (in 1908), the school opened as Basingstoke High School for girls. When it became a co-ed in 1972, it became Harriet Costello Secondary School. But was later renamed Costello Technology College after gaining specialist Technology College status. The school was converted to academy status on 1 July 2012 and was renamed The Costello School. Before becoming an academy, it was a community school under the direct control of Hampshire County Council. The school continues to coordinate with Hampshire County Council for admissions. The school, as of 1 September 2018, is now part of the multi-academy trust (MAT) Bohunt Education Trust.
