Valley Gardens Middle School is located in Monkseaton, Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, England. The Headteacher is Michael Homer. It is one of the largest middle schools in Whitley Bay, with about 750 pupils on roll and SATs results are significantly above the national average. It serves a mainly suburban catchment.

Most students transfer to Whitley Bay High School at the end of Year 8 because of its close proximity.

Prior to school reorganisation in the 1970s the building was a secondary modern; hence it has always had relatively good technology facilities for a middle school.

Steven Taylor and Peter Ramage, Newcastle United players, are former pupils of this school. They both captain a Teachers XI every year at the school with the proceeds of the match going to charity.

Currently, the school is trying to raise money for water filters for places in Africa. This is being done with the Samaritan's Purse. So far, money for 29 water filters has been raised.

The school has been awarded numerous awards and trophies. One of them is the International School Award, which celebrates the school sucess in doing international activities such as an International Day in 2005, plus the schools high sucess in Languages. It was presented by BBC News reader Anna Ford in 2006.

Recently the school has preformed a very sexist act of hosting CC4G on a tuesday night. CC4G is a computer club for girls where they do female orientated activities. This has resulted in a tuesday night computer club being turned into a girls only night. This is very discriminative and causes offence to many boys.
