From the Causeway School
The Turing School's modest size enables us to give each student individualised attention and customise their educational experience. The school continues to grow from strength to strength and our recent Ofsted praised, Pupils attitudes to learning as positive because of strong relationships between staff and pupils and said that community is at the heart of Causeway/The Turing School, bringing together students, staff, parents and carers. With the right assistance and guidance, secondary school can be an exciting and opportunity-awakening experience for young people, giving them the skills, abilities, and qualities they need to succeed in life. Every secondary student deserves a fulfilling educational experience, and we encourage our students to recognise and embrace our Core Values. Since our relationship with Swale Academies Trust began three years ago, we have concentrated on school improvement, teamwork, and ongoing learning for both our students and staff. On September 1st, 2020, we formally changed our name to become a Swale Academy Trust School, and as part of that, we will continue to tailor children's educational experiences to support their success and help them meet the highest standards in terms of academics, social development, and moral development.
