"Great Experience, but Room for Improvement"

We had a fantastic experience with Turner Free School when our child attended. The school's focus on STEAM subjects and languages was excellent, and our child excelled in their studies. However, we did feel that the school could improve on providing more extracurricular activities for older students. Overall, we would still highly recommend Turner Free School!

Our child is excited to start their journey at Turner Free School!

"Outstanding Support for Our Child"

The support provided by Turner Free School for our child with specific needs has been outstanding. The school's proposed Specialist Resourced Provision for pupils with cognition and learning / speech, language and communication needs is a game-changer for families like ours. We can't thank the staff enough for their dedication and care!
