The Kingsway Academy (formerly Wallasey School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Leasowe in the English county of Merseyside.

Wallasey Grammar School in the Wirral area was first constructed on St George's Road. A picture was painted by Victorian artist John Henry Robinson (1852-1922) of the first school building,^[1] and another by Harold Hopps (1879-1967) ^[2] In 1876 it moved to St Withen's Lane. It moved again to a site purchased from the Navy in 1911, moving its former premises on Flag Field. The site once occupied by the now defunct grammar school is now occupied by Liscard Primary School. A Technical College was opened next door in 1963. The grammar moved to Leasowe in 1967, and later became Wallasey Comprehensive School.

Previously a community school administered by Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council, Wallasey School converted to academy status in February 2015. However the school had already been renamed The Kingsway Academy in September 2014.
