Information about the school

The Turner Free School is an academically ambitious and inclusive school for 11-18 year old pupils in the Cheriton area of Folkestone.

In other words, it is a grammar-style school for everyone. As a smaller than average secondary school, all pupils are known and educated as individuals.

The school has a knowledge-led curriculum, organised along the principles established by Professors Michael Young of the IOE and E.D.

Hirsch of the University of Virginia, to ensure all pupils receive the knowledge they need to thrive in the modern world.

In addition, to give pupils a leading edge for further education and employment, modern foreign languages are emphasised, with the aspiration that all pupils will achieve a working standard by the time that they graduate from the school.

As a free school the Turner Free School is a new Academy school; directly funded by central government and independent of Local Authority control.

Like other free schools, the Turner Free School has a responsibility to expand the educational offer locally, to promote higher standards inclusively, to address local social issues and to ensure excellent value for the public purse.
