🌟 A Proud Moment for Quinton House School 🌟
We are thrilled to announce that Quinton House School has been officially awarded the Quality Mark for Character Education by the Association for Character Education!
This prestigious recognition marks the culmination of over three years of dedication, reflection, and collective effort to embed character at the heart of everything we do. From Nursery to Sixth Form, staff and students alike have embraced our mission to develop not only academic excellence, but also empathy, resilience, integrity, and compassion.
Inspectors praised our community spirit, noting that “Character education is the glue which binds our community together” and highlighting our students as a particular strength—articulate, proud, and deeply aware of the importance of good character.
This award is more than a title—it’s a reflection of who we are as a school and the values we uphold every day. Thank you to our incredible staff, supportive parents, and inspiring students for being part of this journey.
But we’re not stopping here! Our sights are now set on achieving the Quality Mark Plus Award and becoming a national Centre of Excellence for Character Education.
Here’s to building character, shaping futures, and continuing to lead the way.

Year 6 welcomed back @big_bubble_theatre for their ‘Votes for Women’ workshop, where they ‘met’ Emmeline Pankhurst and learnt about her life leading up to the historic Suffragettes movement which changed the course of history for women’s rights in our country. They created some rousing chants that the suffragettes would have been proud of!

Wishing all of our students, their families and our teachers, a restful Easter.
Thank you to our talented Chartwells team for these delicious end of term treats. 😋
We have had the privilege of welcoming members of @redbullracing STEMx programme into school this week, educating our Year 9 students on the world of Formula 1, providing an insight into the roles available within the industry and engaging with some hands on experience. It’s not everyday that you get to build and race your very own (model) Formula 1 car!! Or get to try on @maxverstappen1 2024 Championship winning race helmet either, another memorable highlight of the day.
The students showed true collaboration in completing the tasks set and we cannot thank Rosie and Naomi from STEMx enough for opening up the possibilities and opportunities in the industry to our students.
