About the School - Quinton House
Quinton is a beautiful school on the edge of Northampton and is surrounded by 31 acres of parkland. Our students are polite, engaging and we are on a mission to lead the way.
The school is a family and we work hard to ensure our students have the very best holistic education. The parents deserve a wonderful experience as they place their trust in us to educate and develop the character of their children.
The school has three buildings that house our Prep, Senior and Sixth Form students. The buildings range from grade one listed to old stable blocks and a state of the art sports hall, truly marrying up the old and the new. The school refuses to stand still and is always working on being better for all those who work and study there. We are a team, aligned and focused on our service, seeking a new member of the family.
The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced KS2 Teacher to join our fantastic team.
