We fully appreciate that moving schools isn’t always something that can wait until September. Whether that’s due to relocating, wanting to find academic stretch for your child, or simply to feel the benefits of the smaller classroom setting.

We welcome students throughout the year, but January often lends itself to that fresh start. If you and your family are considering a school move in the new year, there is still time.

Call our Admissions team on 01604 684828 to discuss arranging a visit and taster days ahead of the Christmas break, with tours available right up until Friday 20th December.

We are beyond proud to share with you that we have been awarded winners of the ‘Outstanding Engagement in the Community’ category at the recent Independent Schools Association awards. Headmaster, Mr Thomas Muskin was in attendance to accept the award on behalf of the school and the students involved.

This was in recognition of the incredible work that our Global Ambassadors, alongside former Head Student Jack Bott and Mr George, have pulled together with their county-wide initiative of the ‘For Students By Students’ conference. Now in its 3rd year, schools are brought together from across Northampton to discuss the topics important to them and hear from a diverse range of guest speakers. Previous chosen topics included county lines and harmful sexual behaviours, with next year focusing on mental health.

The judge’s comments were as follows:

“Very impressive, passion-driven project to tackle knife crime and county lines in Northampton. Pupils at Quinton House reached out to all local schools, the University and Police to organise a series of awareness raising events that aim to help the local community regain control of local streets. This project shows the power every independent school can have to make a difference in their local community.”

Poppies by Felicity W, Year 8

In fields where silence fell,
flowers bloom, bright and red,
poppies sway, gentle tokens of life
amidst echoes of the past.

Soldiers marched, hearts heavy with dreams,
brave souls on the battlefield,
where thunder roared,
and the skies stained with ash.

They fought for whispers of peace,
for lullabies of home,
for the laughter that once rang
through orchards and fields.

Each step forward, a step into shadows,
each breath, a promise held tight—
to shield the world from further sorrow,
to paint a future with hues of joy.

And now, when the sun kisses the earth,
as dusk settles soft and slow,
the poppies remind us—
freedom is a fragile gift.

In their dance, a tale of courage,
a wish that no child knows the fear,
that once lingered in the air,
and how together, peace is finally won.
