Welcome to Quinton House School
At Quinton, we believe in preparing your child for the world that awaits them. We do this by focusing on the timeless fundamentals of character development.
For over 80 years we’ve poured our efforts and expertise into shaping curious, inspired, flexible and resilient young people.
Developing students with academic excellence, yes.
But also the practical wisdom and integrity, that empowers them to make a difference, and bring out the best in themselves, and in others.
Because those are the qualities that our children need.
For a happy, fulfilled and successful life. Beyond the classroom, the exam hall, and out into the wider world that awaits them.
Ready to thrive as leaders of the future.
Meet the Head
"It is hard not to be impressed as you first arrive at Quinton House School, driving down the long driveway towards the beautiful, Grade 2 listed Manor House. Surrounded by 31 acres of wonderfully landscaped gardens, you could be forgiven for thinking you have arrived on the set of 'Downton Abbey'!
But as magical as the setting is, the real magic of any school is not created by the environment, but by the people who work and learn within its walls. Quinton is an all-ability school, and is determined to support all children, no matter what their starting point, to achieve their very best. Whether this is on the sports field, in music, drama or the arts, or within the classroom, we strive for excellence in everything we do.
The students and staff at Quinton are the 'heartbeat' that makes the school tick, and I encourage you to arrange a visit so that you too can feel the energy for yourselves.
Before then, enjoy browsing the pages of our website, and I look forward to welcoming you all to Quinton House in the very near future."

We are incredibly proud of Ava-Grace who is representing England at the Dance World Cup being held in Dublin this week.
She is dancing in two group dances, selected to represent her country out of 10,000 applicants. Amazing!! We fully appreciate the consistent dedication, hard work, passion and focus that it takes to perform at this level and we cannot wait to hear all about her experience.
You should feel very proud of this immense achievement Ava-Grace and soak up all of the memories.

The move to Year 7 is one of the biggest moments in a child`s education.
For some children, it feels exciting.
For others, it can feel overwhelming.
At Quinton House School, every child is known, supported and encouraged from day one.
Small classes and strong pastoral care help pupils settle quickly, build confidence and thrive.
Discover how we make the transition to secondary school feel positive and exciting.

Keep safe, have adventures, reflect and set goals for the new year, but most of all, make memories.
// Character in Action //
Our Nursery to Year 2 sports day never fails to bring out the character of our smallest athletes.
From Nursery’s courage to Year 2’s determination and a huge amount of strength and perseverance from Reception and Year 1, it was once again a morning of memories; bringing families together to cheer on records being set and efforts made.
A special mention to our Senior School sports ambassadors who always play a pivotal role in guiding and coaching our youngest Quintonians with nothing but warmth and encouragement.
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to what is one of the highlight events of the school year. It was wonderful to see you all there.
// Excellence with Ambition //
Ahead of this weekend’s F1 Grand Prix @silverstonecircuit, our Year 6 girls got in on the action, taking part in the ‘Girls on Track’ event promoting women in motorsport. We have been privileged to attend on a number of occasions and it never fails to engage and inspire.
From reactions-time testing, driving simulations, media coverage, medical careers and the all important tyre change (with milliseconds to spare), the girls gained a true insight into what opportunities await them.
Thank you to the team @silverstonecircuit for another incredible morning spent with them.
// Courage to Grow //
This week has been all about facing sporting challenges, team spirit and coming together as a community; kicking off the week with our Year 3. - Seniors sports day.
Always a highlight of Summer term calendar seeing all of the students (& staff), championing for their houses around the track and field. 🟡🔴🔵
Well done to every single student who took part and a huge thank you to Mrs Power and her dedicated PE dept for organising and running the event.
Next up… the little ones were not to be outdone! 🏃♂️
