Welcome to Quinton House School
At Quinton, we believe in preparing your child for the world that awaits them. We do this by focusing on the timeless fundamentals of character development.
For over 80 years we’ve poured our efforts and expertise into shaping curious, inspired, flexible and resilient young people.
Developing students with academic excellence, yes.
But also the practical wisdom and integrity, that empowers them to make a difference, and bring out the best in themselves, and in others.
Because those are the qualities that our children need.
For a happy, fulfilled and successful life. Beyond the classroom, the exam hall, and out into the wider world that awaits them.
Ready to thrive as leaders of the future.
Meet the Head
"It is hard not to be impressed as you first arrive at Quinton House School, driving down the long driveway towards the beautiful, Grade 2 listed Manor House. Surrounded by 31 acres of wonderfully landscaped gardens, you could be forgiven for thinking you have arrived on the set of 'Downton Abbey'!
But as magical as the setting is, the real magic of any school is not created by the environment, but by the people who work and learn within its walls. Quinton is an all-ability school, and is determined to support all children, no matter what their starting point, to achieve their very best. Whether this is on the sports field, in music, drama or the arts, or within the classroom, we strive for excellence in everything we do.
The students and staff at Quinton are the 'heartbeat' that makes the school tick, and I encourage you to arrange a visit so that you too can feel the energy for yourselves.
Before then, enjoy browsing the pages of our website, and I look forward to welcoming you all to Quinton House in the very near future."

Today has been all about celebrating our phenomenal Year 11’s. As they head into their final weekend of revision, they have taken some time out today to be celebrated and reflect on their Quinton journey so far.
“Give yourselves the opportunity to shine. It is OK to be brilliant and awesome and everything that you are. In so many ways, I am proud of all of you.”
Dr Fiadzomor, Head of Senior School
“This school has a lot of history and a lot of students have passed through its doors. This year it is 80 years old…and I hope you remember this place, these people and the history you have been a part of. However long you have been here, it has been an absolute privilege to have you here.
Take everything you have learnt with us and use it to be your strength.”

“Just before the half term break. we entered our first ever Quinton House team into the Northamptonshire Schools Padel Tournament.
It was a fantastic morning with Finley & Jude qualifying for the Cup competition, and Ethan & Bertie and Freddie & Leo qualifying for the Plate competition.
The boys really enjoyed the chance to play padel, practising all through their lunch break. The afternoon saw some more great play and dramatic points, with all pairs winning one of their three games.
Well done to all for their brilliant attitudes, excellent shots and determination to play their best despite the exhaustion at the end of the day. They should all be very proud of their performance, often against older students with more experience of padel. I hope they are encouraged to continue playing and I look forward to seeing their progress.”
Miss Fillmore, Teacher of Games & Padel Pro
