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.
"At Quinton we have a strong ethos based around family values. This community and family feel allow our children to progress rapidly and be academically successful."

// EXCELLENCE WITH AMBITION //
Year 9 took to the skies this week with a lively, hands-on recreation of the Battle of Britain! With students stepping into the role of aircraft—and pom poms standing in for bombs—the lesson brought this historic moment to life in a fun and memorable way.
The focus was on how radar gave Britain a crucial advantage, with students exploring the science and maths behind how it works. By linking these subjects into their history lesson, they gained a deeper understanding of the innovation that helped shape the outcome.
Through activities highlighting the importance of communication and early warning—comparing “eyes open” and “eyes closed” scenarios—students saw just how vital awareness was in defending the country.
A fantastic example of creative, cross-curricular learning in action!

He did it!! 🏃
There was never any doubt in our minds that Mr Higgins would be able to dig deep and face the challenge of running the @londonmarathon head on.
We are so proud to share that he completed the course in 4hrs 21mins which is so incredible and also hit his fundraising goal for @childrenwithcanceruk. It will make such a difference to the charity. Thank you to everyone in the Quinton community for cheering Mr Higgins on or donating.
Wear your medal with pride Mr H.

Year 6 used their forest school lesson to investigate the art of Hapa Zome, the Japanese art form that translates to “leaf dye”.
So simple, but so effective. 🌸🍃

Our Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh students headed out on their expeditions this week, Silver as their practice and Bronze as their assessment.
The students showed incredible leadership and teamwork meeting the challenges head on.
Dr Fiadzomor, Deputy Head joined them overnight and couldn’t speak highly enough of the student’s approach to tasks, independence and focus. A complete joy!
Well done team DofE!! 🏕️
