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."

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.

“Congratulations to Ruby Q9 on an outstanding performance at the British Showjumping event held at the Welsh Premiere David Broome Event Centre in Chepstow.
Ruby competed brilliantly throughout the weekend, securing joint first place in the 75cm class, followed by an impressive 4th place in the 80cm on Saturday and 5th place in the 80cm on Sunday.
With fields of more than 30 competitors in each class, these results are a testament to her talent, consistency, and determination. Competing at this level against such strong opposition and achieving multiple top placings is a fantastic accomplishment.
The entire team is incredibly proud of Ruby and all that she has achieved. Her hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and these results reflect the exciting progress she continues to make. Well done, Ruby – a remarkable weekend of competition and a result to be celebrated!”

“Year 6 had a truly magical day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour! The children were amazing throughout the trip and embraced every moment of the experience. We loved strolling through Diagon Alley, exploring the incredible sets, and learning how the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The workshop was incredibly interesting and we discovered that a Saints legend played Hagrid’s stunt double! The dragon at Gringotts certainly caught a few of us by surprise too! Many of the children also discovered a newfound love of Butterbeer, which proved to be a very popular treat. It was a fantastic day filled with excitement, laughter, and memories that will last for years to come.”
Mrs Harrison, Year 6 teacher, Head of KS2, Griffindor 🪄
