Another year for our students is complete!

For some it’s been their 1st school year and we think this picture as drawn by Luciana in Reception is a fitting end.

We are still open over the Summer break, so if are looking to join us in the future or have any questions you would like answering, we are here to help. We still have so much to share with you from this year too, so keep your eyes on our socials.

Wishing all of our students, their families and our teaching staff a wonderful, restful and adventurous Summer. Here’s to another fantastic year for Quinton, with even more opportunities to embrace and successes to celebrate.

Now all we need is the sun! ☀️

“Yesterday marked the end of our time with the organisation Wildlife Sense. Students engaged in the last snorkel and harbour surveys, the latter providing excellent opportunities to view the magnificent loggerhead turtle. On our harbour surveys, students have fielded questions from the public and recorded data about turtle behaviour in the area.

Later on in the evening, we collected litter from the local beaches before analysing which items were most commonly found.

In all of these endeavours, the students have been fantastic, providing a valuable service for the environment around them”

⭐️ Student Achievement ⭐️

Tough Mudder completed! 💪

This weekend saw Sophie M in Year 5 complete her @toughmudder challenge in support of @cr_uk. She managed to smash her original target of £500 by raising an incredible £800! The donation link can be found in our stories for anyone who would still like to continue to support Sophie’s page.

Well done Sophie, we’re incredibly proud of you.

“Thank you so much for the immense support everyone has giving me in my hope to fundraise for CRUK.

I cannot explain how grateful I am for all the donations from everyone no matter how big or small. With the kind help of everyone I have managed to reach £800 across two accounts.

I had a great time today.

Many thanks to all.

Warm regards

Sophie xx”

“After orientation sessions on day 2, day 3 started with a 04:30 start, surveying the local beaches for new nests. Two nests were found, one of which required a relocation due to its location too close to the water.

In the afternoon, we completed our first seagrass survey. A keystone species, it plays a crucial role in regulating the marine ecosystem, providing food for turtles and acting as an extensive carbon sink.

A long, tiring but ultimately fantastic and enriching day.”

Freya McE recently made the most of an incredible opportunity of taking part in all day workshops and performing on stage with the cast of Stomp!

“It was a great experience for her and she worked together with students from Rugby school, surrounding schools and dance schools in the local area.

They performed an amazing fusion of dance and percussion using everyday objects including pipes, dustbin lids, sink plungers and shopping trollies to name but a few! The audience was treated to a combination of performances which the students created with Stomp throughout the day along side highlights from the Stomp show which tours worldwide.

The performance took place outdoors on this lovely sunny evening on the main stage as part of Rugby’s Festival on the Close in the beautiful grounds of Rugby school. It was a most enjoyable event and a valuable experience for Freya!”
