Yes, the Turing test experiment I organised at Reading University in 2008 , as part of the 18th Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence, involved a school in the preliminary round of judging machines, and in the final contest school pupils took part as judges and hidden humans (foils for the machines).
After that I have involved school pupils in later Turing test experiments (in 2012 and 2014), and involved schools and colleges in West London to read the transcripts from the practical Turing tests and say whether answers to questions are from human or machine. Your school can get involved in this exercise if you are interested, do ask your teacher to contact me.
