Quainton Hall Main School Prospectus 2021

Academic Organisation
Prep School
From the age of seven, pupils in Year 3
begin to attend lessons with some subject
specialists, including science, computing,
art and French, together with a full games
programme. The classes are not streamed
in Year 3 and great care is taken by Form
Teachers and subject staff to develop in
each child a good sense of purpose and
drive, supported by sound and effective
organisational skills.
Our aim is to enable each child to use to
the best possible effect the talents they
have. In the Prep School, a child’s effort
and attainment are regularly assessed and
grades are awarded each half term (this is in
addition to the report which goes annually).
There are Parent/Teacher Consultations for
each Form in the course of the academic
year. A pupil’s grades contribute to the Inter-
House Competition which is overseen by the
Deputy Head.
From the age of seven, children arrive at
school from 8.00am when they will be looked
after by our Playground Supervisor. An
extensive programme of after-school care
is available. Homework is a regular feature
of a child’s life in school and the amount
set depends on age. All pupils are given
a Homework Diary/Planner and parents
check and sign it every day. Children are also
expected to have a reading book with them
at all times. We expect them to keep up their
reading at home, especially at the week-end.
