Turing Link

Connecting educators and empowering futures

Headteachers Welcome

Welcome to Turing Link

Turing Link is our overarching framework for collaboration. It’s not just one project or event - it’s the collective name for everything we do to connect, support, and inspire educators and students within the Turing House community and beyond. Under this umbrella, we bring together schools, educational institutions, and organisations to share knowledge, experience, and innovation. The aim is simple: to strengthen teaching, leadership, and student outcomes through meaningful professional collaboration.

Since our establishment in 2015 we have worked closely with many others to make a positive contribution to the local area. We actively encourage students and staff to participate in community-based activities as an integral part of their education. Through Turing Link, we are building an outward-facing professional learning network - uniting educational professionals to co-create impactful partnerships that support school improvement and inspire innovation.

Our Mission

At Turing Link, we believe that meaningful collaboration drives real change. By fostering partnerships, we aim to:

  1. Inspire professional growth

  2. Drive innovation

  3. Enhance opportunities for students and staff alike
