MEET THE HEAD OF HOUSE – IZZY TURNER

Hi, my name is Izzy Turner and I am Head of Turner House – ironic I know!

Turner is a warm and exciting environment with friendly faces all around and many laughs each day, so I doubt people will have trouble finding their feet. The school have a lot of support put in place, which I found myself very helpful, in making the move to a new school a smooth transition. For instance, we have a tutor to help discuss workloads, an activity day to help integrate with the new year group and amazing House Parents to guide us through it all. Turner is a great place to start your move into the Sixth Form.

QUOTES FROM THE GIRLS

“Turner is a great House because of our overwhelming amount of energy”
