QTV 2025
The Cape Song
At Quilters, we strive to engender a sense of family and togetherness. The Cape Song brings us all closer together in our love of Growth Mindset and of each other!
The Quilters Quest
At Quilters, every pupil undertakes the Quilters Quest; they all take part in 48 carefully chosen challenges across their four years in the juniors. From visiting care homes to raising money for charities to appearing on Quilters TV, pupils grow in confidence and self-belief. This in turn builds character! All children are equal in the Quest; all pupils will succeed and when they do they are awarded the fabled Quilters Diamond – the outward sign that they are a true Quiltonian!
G.O.A.L. Time
At Quilters, we do GOAL time so that children can use their Orange Cape of Independence, Green Cape of Concentration, Rainbow Cape of Creativity and Gold Cape of Quality. By choosing their own activities and learning through play, our youngest Quilteenees discover the joy of thinking, exploring and becoming the very best learners they can be.
'The Always Club'
At Quilters, we run 'The Always Club' weekly, so that children who 'always' show our Capes and Values are celebrated. It teaches everyone that kindness, perseverance, teamwork and quality matter and that striving to be your best self is always noticed! Play time with Mr Holmes and Mrs Chappell is enormous fun!
Lunch service at the Human Kind Café
At Quilters, we serve the community at the Human Kind Café lunch service. Here, our children develop empathy, teamwork and take immense pride in helping others. By connecting with the elderly in our community, pupils learn to look outwards, value service and understand the difference they can make in people’s lives. At the Human Kind Cafe, our pupils are the waiters and waitresses to the elderly guests; then they enjoy dinner with them!
Forest School
At Quilters we do Forest School so that children can use their Blue Cape of Bravery, Red Cape of Teamwork, Purple Cape of Perseverance and Rainbow Cape of Creativity. This helps them grow in confidence, take risks safely and learn how to work together in the great outdoors.
Quilteenee Way
Quilters is a family. We celebrate each other’s achievements, build relationships and encourage a Growth Mindset—helping everyone learn and succeed together.
The Summer Water Fight!
"Play hard; work hard!" Mr Wade, Summer 2025. Plus, 'Maslow's Triangle' - never forget to say thank you to others and show them how grateful you are for their friendship and kindness. To get to the top of Maslow's Triangle, you must always be kind to yourself and remember to say thank you to others. We all need to feel appreciated.
Play Buddies
Play Buddies are trained to lead, include and inspire. They’re role models who make every child feel safe and valued, showing creativity, teamwork and empathy. Connecting and giving to others are two of the Five Ways to Mental Well-Being. Our Play Leaders excel at both.
Our friends at Abbeyfield
At Quilters, pupils learn the joy of giving. They learn that helping others helps us too. Giving is reciprocal. Every pupil has an elderly pen pal and regularly visits local care homes and cafés, making a real difference in their community.
VE Day
Ofsted 2025: "Pupils learn about different countries and cultures. As part of this, visitors often come in and talk to pupils about different national days and faith-linked celebrations. Pupils gain knowledge and understanding of celebrations in modern Britain. They learn why it is important to respect and value difference."
Heart Partners
From their first day in Foundation Stage, our infant pupils are taught about unconditional love. Whether someone is smiling or frowning, laughing or quiet, Quilteenees are taught to always make time to check in with others, with a fist bump, a high five, a handshake or even a hug. Quilters is a school built on kindness and love.
I can. I am. I have. The Cross Bar Challenge
We want our junior children to understand Maslow's Triangle and that to be the best version of yourself, to self-actualize, you need to be able to self-care and say kind things, appreciative things about yourself. To that end, Junior pupils are asked to say one I am, one I can and one I have sentence about themselves everyday. Imagine how much more resilient they will be, how much stronger their self-belief will be if they say something nice to themselves daily. Go on, ask them to!
The Walk of Fame
Quiteenees and Quitonians are family. They are brothers and sisters. Junior pupils are the infant pupils big brothers and big sisters. Pupils love to excel, they love to excel but they equally love to celebrate the achievements of their brothers and sisters. We are a school built on kindness and love. To be the best version of yourself, to self-actualize, we all need recognition from others, we all need genuine, heart-felt praise.
A parliamentary debate
Providing pupils with the best possible oracy skills is a crucial objective for Quilters' Schools. In each year, pupils are taught to explain, discuss and debate with increasing skill. The use of sentence stems and an insistence on using standard English at the correct times is key to this. Their oracy skills will, we hope, wow future employers.
