Turing House School is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school which 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 2011 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 some governance responsibilities delegated to the school's local governing body.[4]
