The Kingsley School is anindependent day school inLeamington Spa,Warwickshire, England, to the north of the town centre. It traditionally educated girls from 3 to 18, with the co-educational preparatory school also educating boys up to the age of 11.[1] From September 2025 it will begin its transition to become fullyco-educational through to 18.

The senior school occupies an adapted and extended Victorian manor house. On the opposite side of the road is the junior school. The nearby sixth form centre is self-contained. The playing fields occupy a site on the outskirts of the town. It was founded as aChurch of England school, and now accepts pupils of all faiths and of none.[2]
