Quinton House School is a co-educational private school for children aged 2 to 18 years located in Upton, Northampton, England. The school is owned and operated by the Cognita Group.
History
Quinton House School is situated in the Grade I listed building, Upton Hall. The hall dates back to the medieval period with many alterations taking place in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. In 1946 the last private owner, Mr. James, died and the estate passed into the ownership of the Sir Thomas White's trust. A lease was taken out on the buildings by three ladies surnamed 'Teape' who opened Upton Hall School in 1946. In 1966 the then headmistress, Miss K Madden, renamed it Quinton House School.
1986 saw the ownership of the estate pass to Northampton Borough Council and during this period the main building was re-roofed. The nineties saw many changes at QHS including new sports fields in 1990 which were laid out in the walled garden. In 1991 the school admitted its first sixth formers and in 2017 celebrated '70 years of a school at Upton Hall'.
In 2004 the school was the first acquisition by Cognita Schools and shortly afterwards a major development was planned to upgrade facilities at the school. This culminated in 2008 with the opening of a sports hall and major facility development at the Preparatory and Senior school. Developments at the school during this period included enclosing the open air courtyard, with a bespoke glazed atrium construction. This area is now used as a dining room and assembly for the Junior School.
The current Headteacher, [1] Thomas Muskin, took up his role in September 2021.
