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 141 pupils aged 4-11 years on roll, coming from a wide catchment area, including Hebburn and Wardley. There is also a Pre-School offering sessional or full day care for pupils aged 3-5 years.
The school has plenty of space for our pupils to enjoy, including two halls, a music room, two libraries and an ICT suite. Outside, we have a school field, garden, pond and two yards. A new reception classroom was built in May 2005 together with an outside play area.
We hope you enjoy visiting our school weblog and seeing the progress your children are making.

Bike Trial Display
Ben Slinger three times Bike Trial World Champion and Danny Butler the European Champion and twice British Champion, visited our school. The whole school came out to watch the boys put on a fantastic display, jumping off tables then back onto them! Ben jumped off his trailer (about 7 feet high) straight down to the floor within inches of Danny (Phew!). The children were enthralled, it was an amazing show. Just take a look at the photos below to prove it.
