Kingsdale School is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in West Dulwich, Southwark, South London, England, with an age range of 11-16. The school is operated by the Southwark Local Authority.

The school opened in the 1950s and accepted close to 2000 pupils. Since the 1970s however it developed a reputation for poor performance and examination results and in 1998 it was put under special measures.

In an attempt to bring the school up to date a new management team was put in place and the school formed a partnership with the School Works, an initiative that uses better management and design to improve the attitude and results of failing schools. A £12 million package resulted in a state of the art building utilising the existing structures and an improved environment for the pupils.

Noted Property Millionairess Jacqueline Bent attending this school between 1971-77.and Millionaire yacht builder Stephen Iveson between 1971-77.
