Turing House School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children or children who were previously looked after.
2. 2Exceptional medical or social need — Children who have an exceptional medical or social need requiring attendance at this school rather than any other school. Such needs must be supported, at the time of application, by reports or letters from suitable professionals such as GPs, consultants or social workers. Circumstances cannot be taken into account unless information is provided at the time of application and failure to provide such information at that stage may therefore affect whether or not the children are allocated places at the preferred schools. All information submitted will be regarded as confidential.
3. 3Siblings — Children who have siblings on the roll of the school in any year group, including the Sixth Form, at the date of their own application for admission. Siblings include full, step, half, fostered, and adopted siblings living in the same household. Cousins are not considered siblings.
4. 4Children of staff — Children of staff directly employed by the Russell Education Trust on a permanent full-time or fractional contract at Turing House School in either of the following circumstances. a) The member of staff has been employed for two years or more before the admission application and is still employed, without having given notice or been given notice that the employment will end, at the time the offer is made. b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage (determined by the headteacher with the chair of governors and the CEO of RET).
5. 5Distance from home to school — The remaining places will be allocated by distance as follows. a) 20% will be allocated to those applicants whose home address is closest to the ‘Sun Stairs’ door of our school building. The point is defined as OS Grid Reference TQ 13480 73643. b) 80% will be allocated to those applicants whose home address is closest to the Nodal Admissions Point for the school, which is TQ 15356 71392, located in Somerset Gardens in Teddington.

Summary of the school's oversubscription criteria for 2027/28 entry as printed by Achieving for Children in Richmond's schools brochure 2027 (the governing body/trust is responsible for the wording; read the full determined policy on the school's website). Proximity to Turing House or the nodal admissions point is measured by the shortest route by road and/or maintained footpath from the property to the relevant point. Accessibility of private or public transport will not be considered. All distances will be measured using the School Admissions’ geographical information system. In the event of two or more applications that cannot otherwise be separated, the school will use random allocation as a tie-break, except in the case of siblings from the same address when all will be offered places. Should a tie break be required it will be conducted independently. The random allocation will be via the drawing of lots by an independent party. Sixth Form admissions are managed directly by the school. Please refer to the school’s policy.
