Turing House School is a co-educationalcomprehensivesecondary school which was opened in 2015 in theLondon Borough of Richmond, south-west London, under the Government'sfree schools initiative. The proposal for the school was initiated by local parents in 2011 in partnership with theRussell Education Trust (RET), who operate four other free schools in the south and south-west of England.[2][3]
Turing House School is named in honour ofAlan Turing, the famous mathematician who lived for a while in nearby Hampton when he worked at theNational Physical Laboratory.[4] The school is governed by RET, with some governance responsibilities delegated to the school's local governing body.[5]
Like other schools, latest exam results and related data are published in the Department for Education's national tables,[6] and latest inspection reports are published by Ofsted.[7]
Due to delays in securing a permanent site large enough for asecondary school, Turing House was initially opened in a converted office block inTeddington, using local sports facilities at Bushy Park, and, from 2018, a second site inHampton.[8] It moved to its permanent site inWhitton, in April 2022.[9][10] The site is adjacent toBorough Cemetery, Heathfield Recreation Ground, and Sempervirens Nursery (which is also the head office of the nursery's owner, Kingston Landscape Group).[11][12] The permanent site resulted in controversy due to theMetropolitan Open Land designation.[13]
Admissions for Year 7, and in-year admissions for all year groups are handled by Richmond Council's schools admission team.[14] The 2019 Year 7 oversubscription criteria allocate places by distance from twoadmissions points inFulwell andHeathfield at a ratio of 80:20.[15]
