Whitley Bay High School is a mixed upper school and sixth form located in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, England.

It has four main buildings:
A-Block: English, Modern Foreign Languages (French and German), Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics); the school gym, canteen, main hall and various offices
B-Block: Geography with mr parsisson is the best how big is yours Philosophy, Religious Studies; an additional sports hall (known as B-Block Hall)
C-Block: Childcare, Design and Technology, Media Studies, Food Technology, Healthcare, Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Textiles
D-Block (built 2003): Art, Drama, Music, Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics); the School Library, a music recording studio and a drama studio

There are also several other outlying blocks around the main four. These are H Block, which accommodates History, L Block (so called because before a swap-around, it was actually a library) for Business Studies, Economics and ICT/Computing, P Block for Psychology and PE and E block providing two extra art classrooms. As well as this there is a block which contains the Physical Education offices, changing rooms, and main sports hall, the rooms in this block having become "SP1". In 2006, major renovation took place for the 6th form facilities. The very small common room was emptied out, and extended into a new 2-storey block in between blocks A and B. This new block provides 6th form students with a 24 unit ICT facility, predominantly for their use, as well as a new 6th form canteen. The ground floor of this block consists of specialised IT rooms built. These rooms feature computers, projectors, interactive white boards and comfortable chairs. This is referred to as the ACL Block and features classrooms "SX1" and "SX2". Also in mid-2006 a major renovation of C-Block and the science laboratories on its first floor was completed. The new building work included two observation classrooms (one a laboratory and the other a normal classroom), with one way mirrors allowing people in a small room in between the two observation classrooms to sit and observe lessons without being seen.

The school also offers use of their facilities and are available to rent. Facilities to rent include their 3 multi-purpose outdoor courts, their school Gym, their IT rooms and general classrooms. More can be found on the school website.
