Welcome to Bill Quay!
Bill Quay is a small primary school located in the east of Gateshead near the River Tyne. Built in 1877, the school is one of the oldest in Gateshead and retains lots of its original Victorian features. There are currently 174 pupils aged 4 -11 years on roll, which includes 8 children in an ASD provision. The school has a wide catchment area, including Hebburn and Wardley. There is also an outstanding Pre-School on site, offering sessional or full day care for pupils aged 3-5 years.
The school has plenty of space for our pupils to enjoy inside and out, including a wonderful wildlife garden and allotment area that has been developed with the help of the local community. A new reception classroom was built in May 2005 together with an outside play area.
