Head’s Welcome

Welcome to the Turing House School – I am delighted to be writing this page as the founding headteacherof this exciting new school.

A new inclusive secondary school for Richmond was envisioned by a small group of parents who care deeply about their local area and its people.  Faced with shrinking catchment areas and increased demand for local secondary schools, they saw their community breaking up as families moved away or chose non-local schools. Knowing that many other local people agreed that another excellent secondary school was needed they decided to try and do something about it.

The result of their determined effort and the fantastic support from the community is Turing House School which opens to its first cohort of 100 students in September 2015.  We are being well supported by our academic sponsor, the Russell Education Trust, who have successfully opened four other new schools in recent years.

The detail on this website, as well as our postings on Twitter, will keep you up to date with our progress.  Do keep in touch with your ideas and thoughts. If you are interested in a place at Turing House for your child you can register your interest to receive updates and information about when to apply.  I very much look forward to meeting you at future information events.
