We offer academic challenge and rigour to all our students within a supportive and caring community. Our curricular and co-curricular opportunities ensure that students are encouraged to think beyond the normal demands of subject material.
Jump down to:
We place great emphasis on practical learning and problem solving, encouraging students to be inquisitive, exploring topics to gain greater understanding and to think for themselves.
Bringing Lessons To Life
Topics are brought to life through inspirational teaching and extensive co-curricular programmes, such as our Robotics club.
Whether it is a themed day, a visit or a workshop, physical experiences and immersive learning help to fire the imagination and add an extra dimension to classroom-based learning.
Our Amazing Teaching Team
The considered use of technology and specialist teachers in many areas support the stimulating and varied curriculum.
This specialism, combined with the best mix of traditional and innovative teaching methods, underpins an approach which drives accelerated progress.
Keeping Students On Track
Staff are passionate about developing students' academic progress alongside their well-being, and are committed to carefully monitoring the student's journey as they progress through the school.
For any students with special educational needs, our SEND Team will assess and design an individualised provision map in consultation with the student, teachers and parents. This is regularly reviewed to ensure the needs of students are constantly in focus.
Academic Challenge
We believe that students need to be stretched to realise their full potential. We want them to think and learn independently, to be curious and go beyond the classroom learning.
We treat every student as an individual and track every child’s progress. We challenge and stretch children in those subjects where they demonstrate higher ability and support in areas of the curriculum they find more difficult.
VISION
Dr Phyllis Fiadzomor - Deputy Head (Academic)
INDIVIDUALISED LEARNING
We understand and appreciate that children develop at different speeds and that’s why our Admissions process does not require students to pass any assessments.
Instead, we focus on the development of the individual which we measure, monitor and evaluate on a regular basis. The ethos here at Quinton House is to focus on understanding our students, their interests, and their needs to make sure that they have the support and encouragement required to help them shine.
CURRICULUM
The curriculum includes not only the taught lessons but also the routines, behaviours, events, activities, and other opportunities that our students experience on a daily basis.
Our approach helps to ensure that students make the best possible progress academically and contributes to their overall development for future success in the wider world.
ACADEMIC RESULTS
From Year 1 a child's progress and attainment are assessed and reported in detail, using National Curriculum Levels in core subjects.
The high quality of teaching and our excellent learning support team ensure that the vast majority of children achieve above national expectations and make better than expected progress.
The latest Year 11 cohort have shown an abundance of determination and resilience having navigated two lockdowns.
Despite the difficult hand they had been dealt, Quinton House students went on to achieve some fantastic GCSE results. We are extremely proud of all they achieved.
