Kingsmeadow Community Comprehensive School is a school for 11 to 16 year olds based in Dunston, Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. It was opened in 1990 on the site of Dunston Comprehensive School, combining the existing Saltwell Senior High, Dunston Comprehensive and Hillhead Junior High schools. The school's name came from an island in the Tyne which was dredged away in the 19th Century to allow the big coal ships up the river. The school has been awarded specialist Business and Enterprise College status.
The school serves the communities of Dunston, Winlaton, Bensham, Lobley Hill, Team Valley and Swalwell.
Kingsmeadow won the DFES School Achievement Award in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and contains the Life Long Learning Centre (LLLC).
In 2007, Kingsmeadow began construction of a new school building, of which the first phase is now complete.
