“Congratulations to Daniel M, Yr 9, his entry into the ISA (Independent Schools Association) Midlands Art competition a mixed media painting called “What a day” achieved second place! 🥈
This painting was selected because he demonstrated excellent tonal pencil drawing, alongside his ability to use a newly found skill in acrylic paint pouring. This experimental artwork was created in school during our Art Ambassadors club and took several weeks to complete.
There was a large field of entries from ISA schools across the midlands and Daniel’s second place was a fantastic achievement. Well done Daniel and we look forward to seeing what the future brings.”
Miss Lewis, Head of Art and Photography

👷 Builders Theme Day in Nursery 👷
“Our first theme day of the year was a success!
From designing to making our own milk carton houses, with a short ‘builders break’ in between of course, a lot of fun was had by all!
Our Builders theme day was to mark all our learning and exploration of our current topic in Nursery; ‘Houses and Homes’.
Over the last few weeks, there has been much excitement as letters have arrived from birds needing nests built and Bob the Builder needing us to build a home too! It has created a lot of excitement and curiosity, with more to follow I am sure!”
Mrs Kinross, Nursery Manager

🍁 Reception Experience Morning 🍁
This morning, Mrs Rush brought Autumn inside for our themed Reception experience morning. An opportunity for families with little ones starting school in September to find out a little more and ask the all important questions.
Our preschool nursery children joined in the craft activities which included hedgehog making, leaf rubbing and biscuit decorating and the results were brilliant!
If you are starting to look at Reception class places for September, but were unable to join us this morning, please don’t worry. There will be other opportunities coming up to join us for an activity morning, details of which can be found on our website.
Thank you to all the families who came this morning; those who are already part of our wonderful nursery as well as those who are looking ahead to September. We hope you enjoyed your creative time with us and your little one and we look forward to welcoming you back at Quinton again soon.
Fun Fact on a Friday - a group of hedgehogs are called a ‘prickle!’ 🦔

🍫 Year 6’s Chocolate Challenge 🍫
Today saw our first transition event for Year 6 in preparation for Senior School, hosted by our English department.
Chief Chocolatier (aka Head of English), Miss Pearson, set our trainee confectioners a very sweet challenge: to design their own chocolate bar! They set about creating a brand name and ingredients list ahead of their carousel of activities: package designing, descriptive writing and even making their own TV advert! It only seemed right (in the name of thorough research), that they also complete a rigorous taste test. Thank you Miss Russell 😊
We hope all of our Year 6 students who visited the Senior School today, enjoyed their insight into Year 7 (although we cannot always guarantee chocolate treats)! The imagination, creativity and teamwork on display was fantastic.
We think a certain Mr Wonka would be very proud.
