Welcome to Quinton House School

“A massive congratulations and thank you to the Y10 Silver DofE students! This trip saw them tackle both the hills and rivers of the Wye Valley. It was a challenging few days but you demonstrated wonderful resilience, empathy and compassion. All of the instructors have informed Ms Harman and myself that you were amazing and great ambassadors for the school.

Ms Harman and I would also like to thank you for a great few days filled with laughs and a great display of character.”

Mr Pearson and Ms Harman

🚨Science in action!🚨

Year 12 students Rosie, Dylan, Tom & Jasper visited the incredible Diamond Light synchrotron. 💡✨

They explored how high-speed electrons create powerful X-ray beams used in real-world research—from pollution to cutting-edge tech.

Highlights included touring the beamlines, seeing lasers trap particles, and chatting with scientists using X-rays to study metals using the photoelectric effect — all tying perfectly into their Year 12 Physics and upcoming Year 13 module!

What a day… and what a birthday for Dylan! 🎉👨‍🔬

Over £100,000 raised for @helpforheroes through @hockey_4_heroes and our very own Miss Fillmore was part of it. What an incredible challenge to be a part of. We are super proud of you Miss Fillmore.

“Over the course of nine intense and inspiring days during May half term, I was part of the Hockey for Heroes squad completing the Operation Peacefinder challenge to raise funds to support our veterans through the charity Help for Heroes.

Collectively, we completed 2,021,209 metres of gruelling fitness racing—one metre for every veteran currently living in the UK, whilst also completing a season’s worth of hockey matches (3-4 games per day).

The challenge was not only a test of physical endurance and mental resilience, but also an opportunity to meet some veterans who described the crucial support that they and their families have received from Help for Heroes, which increased our determination to raise as much money and awareness as possible.

Thank you so much to all those staff, students and parents who have supported the cause so far.”

Prep School welcomed some very special 4-legged visitors just before half term. 🐾🐾

Nelly and Jackson from @dogsforgood_uk came along with their volunteers Brenda and Darren, to teach the students all about the incredible work they do. As you can imagine the children were very excited to learn how dogs such as Nelly and Jackson support the charity and help to change people’s lives.

Our sincere thanks to Brenda and Darren for joining us for the morning and of course Nelly and Jackson for being complete professionals!
