Parents are furious that no end is in sight to their children's temporary classrooms at a Teddington school despite being told six months ago that a new permanent home had been found.

Turing House School has been based in a converted office block in Queen's Road since opening in 2015 and last December the Education Funding Agency announced they had finally negotiated the purchase of a permanent site for the school on Hospital Bridge Road in Whitton.

But to date, the EFA has still not submitted planning applications for the school to move from its temporarily location.

Mother Helen Moody, 45, of Railway Road in Teddington, said: “I am extremely frustrated by the lack of progress in the development of Turing’s permanent site.

“We were assured that the move would take place before the point where my son, Spike, entered Year 10, in time for the run up to his GCSEs in Year 11.”

The school has shown great success since opening in September 2015 and parents have been impressed with its passion and commitment to serving the children’s needs and development.

“I have to say at this point, that since Spike started at Turing in September last year I have been impressed by the outstanding quality of its teaching staff and general standards,” added Ms Moody.

“As a mother, I worry that Spike now has no idea where he will be in the coming years and how the uncertainty and delayed move will affect his education.”

A feasibility study, surveys of the land and meetings with the architect are still being carried out by the EFA to determine final design plans and further consultations.

Richmond Council's strategic cabinet member for children's services and schools, councillor Paul Hodgins, said: “Richmond Council is not directly involved but throughout negotiations we have put pressure on Hounslow Council and the EFA to get plans finalised.

“We want it resolved as much as the residents because it is an excellent school and we are very supportive of seeing its permanent establishment in the borough.”

The EFA had no further comment on their progression with the site and referred to the information on the school’s website announcing that negotiations had been finalised.

A Hounslow Council spokesperson said: “The EFA are progressing with site surveys which will take place shortly as part of the initial process, which will lead to a design of the scheme.”
