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.

Dilly Line Project
Every week for the past 7 weeks, eight boys chosen from year 5/6 have taken part in the Dilley Line Project and have worked alongside a graphic designer, Dan Civicco. They also worked alongside Colgate School.
With him, they learned about graphic design culminating in the design for the Soul Soup Project. The boys worked very hard to come up with an original idea to front this product. They learnt about the importance of strap lines when trying to promote something new and exciting.
Once the children had designed a suitable logo, they were very lucky and had the opportunity to go to Northern Print to actually screen print the logo onto T-shirts. They also designed the logo for the bag for the ingredients. The boys visited Dan's studio so they could see where he actually worked on a day to day basis. They visited designers based in the Ouseburn Valley and learnt a little about where designers took their ideas from and then how to use them.
On the last trip, the boys had the opportunity to visit Potts the Printers in Cramlington to see their hard work being printed.
The boys have thoroughly enjoyed this project and have worked extremely hard on a very worthwhile and exciting cause.
