The Crest Girls' Academy, formerly known as John Kelly Girls' Technology College, was a girls' secondary school with academy status located in Neasden, Brent, North West London. The school was situated next to Crest Boys' Academy; the schools shared a sixth form. All three schools were amalgamated into E-ACT Crest Academy, which opened in September 2014.^[1]

The Crest Girls' Academy was sponsored by E-ACT. The school was one of the first to gain a specialism in the specialist schools movement. Crest Girls had three specialisms: Technology (1998) Languages (2004) and Training Schools.

As per Ofsted report in June 2013, the school had serious weakness and offered an inadequate standard of education. The Academy underwent a restructuring, merging Crest Girls' Academy and Crest Boys' Academy into one school, retaining single sex education. Both schools merged in September 2014.^[2]

GCSE headline figures for the school had risen in recent years. In 2011, 43% of students attending Crest Girls' Academy achieved 5 A*-C grades at GCSE including English and Maths. This rose to 51% 5A*-C grades at GCSE including English and Maths in 2012 and 56% in 2013.
