Turner was educated at Stocksbridge High School (1997–2002). His form teacher, Mark Coleman, characterised him as a “bright”, “popular” student who excelled at sports rather than music. His English and drama teacher, Simon Baker, remembered him as a clever pupil who was “quite reserved” and “a little bit different”. He noted that Turner had an “incredibly laid-back” approach to school work, which worried his mother and led to criticism from other teachers. While there were books at home, Turner did not read regularly and was too self-conscious to share his writing with others. Nonetheless, he enjoyed English lessons. Turner then attended Barnsley College from 2002 to 2004. Given the opportunity to “get away without doing maths”, he largely opted out of “substantial” subjects required for university. He studied for A-levels in music technology and media studies, and AS-levels in English, photography, and psychology.
Arctic Monkeys came to national attention in early 2005. They received their first mention in a national newspaper in April, with a Daily Star reporter describing them as “the most exciting band to emerge this year”. They self-released an EP, featuring the single “Fake Tales of San Francisco”, in May and commenced their first nationwide tour soon afterwards. In June, in the midst of a bidding war, Arctic Monkeys signed to the independent label Domino Recording Company. After initial sessions with James Ford and Mike Crossey, they recorded an album in rural Lincolnshire with producer Jim Abbiss. Turner began dating London-based student Johanna Bennett around this time. In October, the single “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, Arctic Monkeys’ debut album, was released in January 2006, and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Turner’s lyrics, chronicling teenage nightlife in Sheffield, were widely praised. Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times remarked: “Mr. Turner’s lyrics are worth waiting for and often worth memorizing, too … He has an uncanny way of evoking Northern English youth culture while neither romanticizing it nor sneering at it.” Musically, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian noted that the album was influenced by guitar bands “from the past five years … Thrillingly, their music doesn’t sound apologetic for not knowing the intricacies of rock history.”
