Welcome to the Turing House School Career site!
Are you passionate about teaching and supporting students? Are you looking for an inspirational school? Do you want to be supported in your career development? Then come and join us at Turing House School.
Turing House opened in September 2015. It was set up by a parent-led group and became the fifth school in the Russell Education Trust (RET), the largest group of free schools in the country.
Turing House School has had enormous local support since it was first proposed and has been oversubscribed for every intake so far. In May 2018, we were pleased when Ofsted judged us as good overall with outstanding leadership and management as well as personal development, behaviour and welfare. The support to staff provided by the knowledge and experience in RET is invaluable. RET secondary schools are among the most successful in the country. Our external results so far have been very pleasing with our results at KS4 deemed to be significantly above national averages. All post 16 students gained a place at university if that was their desired goal, with one student being places at Cambridge in 2023.
To continue to develop the vision for Turing House School, we need the very best staff who are able to embed our ethos into their teaching and wider school life. We have already created a wonderful environment for young people to learn and mature in and we continue to develop this as we settle into our permanent site. Our aim is that all our students can be equipped to progress to the jobs, training and higher education most suited to their talents and abilities, irrespective of their social or economic circumstances and ultimately have high aspirations for themselves and their future.
We are currently looking for the following role(s) to start in January 2025:

• Head of Business Studies & Economics/ Teacher of Business Studies & Economics/ Teacher of Humanities

• Teacher of Psychology and Sociology
