“We’re not in Kansas any more Toto…”
Our Senior School students transported us to the emerald city for their end of year production of “The Wizard of Oz’: the classic tale of friendship, bravery and believing in your own capabilities.
The cast and crew produced an incredible display of both talent and commitment. Congratulations to everyone who played their part wonderfully to bring the story to life. It was truly magical to see. Special thanks too to Miss Stone and Mrs Greentree for bringing it altogether.
There really is no place like home.

Tomorrow sees our final transition event of the school year where students joining us in September, from class Reception through to Year 7, join their fellow classmates in experiencing what the next year holds for them.
We look forward to welcoming you all back to Quinton and we hope our current students are just as excited to get to know their new teachers and subjects even more.
There are only 2 weeks left of this academic year, so if you are in a position where you are considering a place with us in September, please call our Admissions team urgently to discuss how we can help.

WOW, what a week!
Wizard of Oz Senior School production, WWII theme day, a visit from the Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire and so much more to tell you about!
But first, our Nursery to Year 2 sports day kicked off our end of year activities in style!
“A huge well done to our littlest sports stars! We are so proud of the determination shown and the hard work they all put into competing for their houses.
Congratulations to Samwell House for taking an early lead in the sports day cup, we take to the track on Tuesday with Q3-Q10 to see which house will be the overall winner.... “
Mrs Power, Head of PE and Games
Thank you to our incredible sports ambassadors for their vital support of our young athletes and smooth running of the day, plus our talented Chartwell’s catering team for the delicious lunch to refuel.

“A massive congratulations and thank you to the Y10 Silver DofE students! This trip saw them tackle both the hills and rivers of the Wye Valley. It was a challenging few days but you demonstrated wonderful resilience, empathy and compassion. All of the instructors have informed Ms Harman and myself that you were amazing and great ambassadors for the school.
Ms Harman and I would also like to thank you for a great few days filled with laughs and a great display of character.”
Mr Pearson and Ms Harman

What a wonderful ‘Eggperience’! 🐣
As the chicks settle into their new forever home*, they have certainly left a little imprint on our students.
The children in Reception have enjoyed developing their understanding of the world, discussing the important processes and changes of life, particularly that of a chick! The experience has also allowed the children to develop their global outlook, courage and confidence when holding the chicks and caring for them.
Mrs Rush would like to say a HUGE thank you to the Friends of Quinton House School for giving this opportunity to not only the Reception children, but the whole school!
*the chicks have been safely rehomed to one of Mrs Rush’s friends, who already has chickens and will be very well cared for.

🚨Science in action!🚨
Year 12 students Rosie, Dylan, Tom & Jasper visited the incredible Diamond Light synchrotron. 💡✨
They explored how high-speed electrons create powerful X-ray beams used in real-world research—from pollution to cutting-edge tech.
Highlights included touring the beamlines, seeing lasers trap particles, and chatting with scientists using X-rays to study metals using the photoelectric effect — all tying perfectly into their Year 12 Physics and upcoming Year 13 module!
What a day… and what a birthday for Dylan! 🎉👨🔬
