Kingsmead College is a private girls' primary and high school situated in Melrose, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.
Kingsmead College was founded by Doris Vera Thompson in October 1933 and in 1934 opened its doors to 136 girls, from Grade 1 to Post-Matriculation.
Over the years, houses and gardens adjacent to the original property were purchased, providing further buildings needed to cater for a steadily increasing number of young girls coming to the school.
Doris Vera Thompson helped to plan St Brigid's Chapel on the school grounds and she considered the simple building to be the “heart of the school.” From 1939 onwards, the Boarders used the Chapel regularly until 1999, when the Boarding House was closed.
Grade 7 wears the Senior School uniform of a blazer, white shirt, tartan skirt, white socks and black school shoes.
