Alan Mathison Turing was born in London on 23 June, 1912 whilst his father was employed in the Indian Civil Service. As a result, he was exiled from his parents and fostered in worthy but uninspiring households in England while his parents were abroad in India.
Sherborne School – Development of Mind and Spirit
Turing developed an interest in science and took his own approach of challenging established thinking and proving it for himself. This was his core approach throughout his life, sometimes at a cost to his academic standing.
He went to Sherborne School, the English Public School (fee charging private schools), which had little interest in science. Fortunately, Turing was self-contained and did have some supportive teachers. His individualism worked against him in a school which reflected the social environment of Britain in the 1920s. However, Turing’s notes show he had a degree level understanding of relativity.
