The Blue Coat School was a mixed secondary school located in Dudley, England. It was opened in 1869 within buildings in Bean Road, several hundred yards east of Dudley town centre. It expanded in 1970 to take in the interwar buildings of Rosland Secondary School in nearby Kates Hill, but the Bean Road site was still used for some lessons until 1981, when it was finally declared redundant after 112 years and sold to make way for a residential development.

The Blue Coat School finally closed in July 1989 when it merged with The Dudley School to form Castle High School.

The buildings on Kates Hill still exist to this day. Some of the buildings are used by St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary School, while others are occupied by the local community action group - St Thomas's Community Network.
