Turing House School is a co-educational secondary school that was opened in 2015 in the London Borough of Richmond, south-west London, under the Government's free schools initiative. The proposal for the school was initiated by local parents in partnership with the Russell Education Trust (RET), who operate four other free schools in the south and south-west of England.[1][2]

Turing House School is named in honour of Alan Turing the famous mathematician who lived for a while in nearby Hampton when he worked at the National Physical Laboratory.[3] The school is governed by RET, with a range of governance responsibilities delegated to the school's local governing body.[4]

Ofsted

In May 2018 the school was rated by Ofsted as 'good' overall with areas being 'outstanding'. [5]

Site

Due to delays in securing a permanent site large enough for a secondary school, Turing House has been temporarily housed in a converted office block in Teddington, using local sports facilities at Bushy Park, and a second site in Hampton.[6] It plans to move to a permanent site in Whitton, on the Bridge Farm Nursery site, next to Heathfield Recreation Ground in 2020.[7]

Admissions

Admissions for Year 7, and in-year admissions for all year groups are handled by Richmond Council's schools admission team.[8][9]
