What is Turing House Friends (THF)?
Turing House Friends is a PTA that supports the work of Turing House School by bringing the wider school community together through engaging, entertaining, informing and fundraising.
Who are Turing House Friends?
THF is made up of parents and carers but students, teachers, staff, volunteers and invited members of the community are welcome to join. As a registered charity THF is governed by elected officers:
- Jo O'Sullivan - Chair
- Erica Dholoo - Secretary
- Jo Grant - Treasurer
- THF Constitution
The elected officers are supported by the wider THF community and we are delighted to see so many people contributing to the work of THF.
We run Rugby Parking for events at Twickenham stadium.
We sell second-hand uniform, you can email us for stock info, look on oldschooluniform.co.uk, or come along to one of our sales.
What has Turing House Friends been up to recently?
Here are some examples of recent activities:
- We have meetings followed by a social each half term, which are a chance to meet other parents, learn more about the school and how it is supported by THF activities. Thank you to everyone who has been coming along, it’s fantastic to see them so well attended and many new friendships being formed.
- Each Autumn term, we run a Bingo Night to welcome new Y7 parents to the school
- In the Spring we host a Comedy Night
- We run a "Gift for Turing House" book drive each Christmas to keep our library up-to-date. Thanks to the entire school community and local businesses for all the very generous book gifts.

- We hope to add more events as our school community grows
