Kings Priory School is a coeducational all-through school and sixth form located in Tynemouth, Tyne and Wear, England. The principal is Philip Sanderson. The school has a Christian foundation as the largest member of the Woodard Corporation, but accepts pupils of any religious background. It is located immediately to the east of Tynemouth Metro Station.
The school was founded in 1860 and in 1865 became known as Tynemouth School and was originally situated in the old headmaster's house, now Tynemouth House, which continues to be used for conferences and teaching. Later the name 'The King's School, Tynemouth' was used. Previously a fee-charging private school, The King's School converted to academy status in September 2013, merging with the Priory Primary school in Tynemouth and was renamed Kings Priory School. It remains a member of the Woodard Corporation but is now state-funded.
