What was the name of Alan Turing's secondary school?

Alan Turing’s secondary school was Sherborne School in Dorset, England. He entered the independent boarding school in 1926 at age 13 and boarded at Westcott House.

Before Sherborne, Turing attended St Michael’s in St Leonards-on-Sea and Hazelhurst Preparatory School in Sussex. His time at Sherborne helped reveal the tension between his strong interest in mathematics and science and a traditional curriculum that placed greater emphasis on classical subjects.

Turing’s determination was already striking when he arrived: the first day of term coincided with the 1926 General Strike, so he reportedly cycled about 60 miles from Southampton to Sherborne, stopping overnight at an inn. He later studied mathematics at King’s College, Cambridge, and went on to make foundational contributions to logic, computing, and wartime cryptanalysis. Sherborne School is sometimes confused with an earlier preparatory school in his education, but Sherborne is the canonical answer for his secondary school.
