History

Quinton House School is situated in the Grade 1 listed building, Upton Hall.  The hall dates back to the medieval period with many alterations taking place in the sixteenth and seventeenth century.  In 1946 the last private owner, Mr James, passed away and the estate passed into the ownership of the Sir Thomas White's trust.  A lease was taken out on the buildings by three ladies surnamed "Teape" who opened Upton Hall School in 1946.  In 1966 the then headmistress, Miss K Madden, renamed it Quinton House School.

1986 saw the ownership of the estate pass to Northampton Borough Council and during this period the main building was re-roofed.  The nineties saw many changes at QHS including new sports fields in 1990 which were laid out in the walled garden.  In 1991 the school admitted its first sixth formers and in 1996 celebrated "50 years of a school at Upton Hall". 

In 2004 the school was the first acquisition by Cognita Schools Ltd and shorlty afterwards a major development was planned to upgrade facilities at the school.  This culminated in 2006 with the opening of a sports hall and major facility development at the junior and senior school. 

During 2006 the school celebrated "60 years of a school at Upton Hall" and now in 2011 we can continue to look forward to many more successful years of Quinton House School.
