Turing House School

Turing House School is a highly inclusive and successful secondary school where the vision of a safe, happy and learning community is realised. Pupils feel safe, attend well, behave and cooperate well, and achieve strong outcomes. The curriculum is ambitious, broad and carefully sequenced, teaching is skilled, and pupils with SEND are identified quickly and supported effectively. Reading is prioritised, and personal development is exceptional, with a wide range of clubs, sport, trips, careers work and leadership opportunities. Leadership, governance and trust oversight are strong, and staff appreciate workload-reducing strategies. The sixth form is good and relatively new: students enjoy their experience and achieve well overall, but a few do not achieve as well as they could in some subjects because assessment is not used consistently enough to build recall. The structured personal development programme for sixth-form students is also applied inconsistently, so guidance varies. Leaders should ensure all sixth-form staff implement the school's strategies consistently. Safeguarding arrangements are effective.
