Welcome to Turing Link
Turing Link is a platform designed to connect, support, and inspire educators within the Turing House community and beyond. Rooted in our belief in the power of professional collaboration, it offers opportunities for schools, educational institutions, and organisations to work together -sharing knowledge, experience, and innovation to enhance teaching, leadership, and student outcomes.
Turing House School was established in 2015 through a community-driven initiative to meet the local demand for secondary school places. Since then, 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 between educators drives real change. By fostering partnerships and dialogue, we aim to:
-
Inspire professional growth
-
Drive innovation in practice
-
Enhance opportunities for students and staff alike
