At Quinton House, our Reception pupils are known,
supported, and encouraged to flourish from day one.
We want the best possible foundation
Starting school is a major milestone. The best early education develops more than academic skills alone.
We aim to:
Build confidence.
Support academic progress.
Help your child feel they belong.
Children who join our independent school develop confidence and a genuine love for learning, putting them on the path to success.
Looking to change schools?
Is your child's current school not the right fit? Starting Reception is a major milestone - for children and parents alike.
Does your child need:
A smaller, calmer environment?
More individual attention?
More stretch and challenge?
At Quinton House, our small Reception classes allow us to really know every child and support them as individuals from the very beginning.
Outstanding Early Years Outcomes
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Good Level of Development (GLD) is a statutory assessment completed at the end of the Reception year.
The resulting data shows whether a child has achieved the expected milestones across key foundational areas – specifically communication, physical development, personal/social skills, literacy, and maths – to determine their overall readiness for Year 1.
At Quinton House, our Reception pupils consistently achieve results significantly above national averages.
Results from 2025 – national average of 68%
What makes Quinton House different?
Small classes where every child is known.
Quinton House’s small class sizes allow teachers to understand each child’s strengths, confidence, and learning style from the very beginning — helping children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to thrive.
Outstanding Early Years Success.
Our Reception children consistently achieve well above the national average. By focusing on a strong start, we ensure every child develops the academic foundation and personal confidence they need to thrive as they move through our Prep School.
Inspiring, Child-Led Learning.
We tailor our lessons to the individual, using creative topics that spark genuine interest. By empowering our pupils to take the lead in their own discovery, we help them turn their natural curiosity into a lifelong passion for learning.
Specialist-led weekly enrichment.
We introduce expert instruction early. Every week, our pupils enjoy PE, Music, Drama, and Forest School led by specialist teachers. These sessions are designed to build teamwork and resilience while giving children the space to express themselves creatively.
Outdoor learning across 31 acres of grounds.
Children learn within 31 acres of outdoor space including woodland areas, dedicated Reception facilities, and Forest School environments designed to support active, hands-on learning and exploration.
A Wide Range of Co-Curricular Opportunities.
Learning extends far beyond the classroom through our diverse range of clubs. We encourage every child to explore new hobbies and develop hidden talents, helping them build the character and skills that will serve them long after they leave us.
