About Bill Quay Primary School

Bill Quay Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 63%. That figure is just one percentage point below the Gateshead local authority average of 64%, placing the school in a very similar bracket to its neighbours. In the Gateshead primary rankings, Bill Quay sits 34th out of 61 schools, putting it in the top 55% of the local authority. Nationally, it ranks exactly in the middle, at the 50th percentile among all primary schools in England. The school’s overall score of 63 on the expected-standard metric reflects solid, if not spectacular, outcomes for a state primary in this part of the North East.
