At Truro School we love the fact that 80% of ourcounty is surrounded by sea and that our pupilstake full advantage of Cornwall’s 300 mile sectionof coastline whether surfing on its sandybeaches, sailing on its sheltered estuaries,walking its dramatic headlands and moorlands,or exploring its many geological features.

Why introduce Truro School in this way? Becauseeducation is about so much more than an excellentset of exam results, as important as these are. It isone thing to grasp something intellectually, but reallearning takes place when students have time toreflect on their experiences. Truro School lies in theSouth West of England and I can think of no morejoyful or secure place for children to grow roots, to betransformed by what they learn, in order to developwings to fly as global citizens.

Truro School is a place where academic excellenceis an important part of human excellence. We arecalled to develop confident, tolerant and enthusiasticyoung people who enjoy working with others and areready to influence the world. The mothers and fathersof over 1000 children (many of whom have relocatedto Cornwall) have entrusted us to ensure that theirsons and daughters get the best possible education.We offer high levels of academic study combinedwith a broad range of co-curricular opportunities,celebrating both cultural and sporting achievement.

Truro School is a place characterised by constructive,open and trusting relationships, a place wheretalented and dedicated teachers know each pupil asan individual and accompany them on each leg oftheir journey. We also aspire to be an organisationthat learns, in self-critical pursuit of our goal to offer acreative, innovative and progressive education. I hopethat the pages of this prospectus give you a sense ofTruro School, our vision and values. Do also follow usonline for constantly updated information about ourpupils’ activities and successes. Most of all, pleasecome and visit us where you will be warmly welcomed

THE PARENTS’ VIEW

“ We made an appointment to havea look around Truro Prep andalmost immediately we were takenby the warm and friendlyatmosphere of the school. It wasclear to see the Headmaster’sconnection with the children andhow they reacted when comingacross him.

We were soon to see after twotaster days that the school wasjust what Polly needed. Not onlydid she enjoy the academic work,she was excited by all of the othersporting and creative opportunitiesthe School has to offer.

Living 30 miles away from theschool we were concerned tomove her any earlier with theworry that she may find thejourney too tiring. How wrong wewere!! In only a term and a halfPolly’s confidence, enthusiasm andenergy in her academic work andon the sports field has grownalmost beyond recognition! She isa very happy little girl with a groupof lovely friends. What more coulda parent ask for?”

STUDENT PROFILE

Ciaran (Upper Sixth)


I initially joined Truro School

in the 1st Year as a boarder.

This experience was brilliant

in allowing me to form close

friendships with fellow pupils,

not only from within my year

but also with older years,

which has proved invaluable

during my time at the school.

Whether it was a trip to see

Plymouth Argyle in action or a

regular football session on the

AstroTurf, we were constantly

kept entertained to the point

at which going home at the

weekend didn’t seem such an

enticing prospect.

Truro School has provided

an environment where we are

allowed to develop and

prosper both in co-curricular

activities and academic

studies. For me, some of the

best memories of my time at

Truro School have come on

the football field ranging

from proudly captaining the

2nd XI, to even just helping

out the younger years by

using my skills in refereeing

to officiate various fixtures.

Studying A levels and the

Extended Project Qualification

have been priceless in

helping me develop the

independent learning skills

required to progress onto

higher education.

Whilst much of the work is

down to the independent

learner, the exceptional

support provided by the

teaching staff, who are more

than happy to go above and

beyond the call of duty with

extra sessions at lunch or

even before and after school,

is something which for me

sets Truro School apart.

Perhaps the most beneficial

aspect of the Sixth Form in

my opinion has been the

extraordinary careers advice

offered by the staff. As a

medical applicant the support

offered by the Medics,

Dentists and Vets Scheme has

been superb. Our every need

has been catered for with

visits from current medical

students and doctors,

assistance with personal

statements and even an

evening of mock interviews.

With such help and as part

of the Duke of Edinburgh’s

Award run by the school I

have been inspired to

volunteer at the local general

hospital, the Royal Cornwall

Hospital, Treliske. Here I

have offered my services as

a mealtime companion on

the geriatric ward where I

help the nursing team to

feed patients who are unable

to feed themselves

efficiently. This has been an

extremely fulfilling and

humbling experience as

patients entrust you with one

of their basic needs.

The experience has given me

a fantastic insight to a

healthcare profession and

been very rewarding as I

observe various patients

returning to good health.

To feel that I have played

even the smallest of roles in

their care and recovery has

given me a great sense of

satisfaction and driven me

on to secure a place at

medical school.

In the future, I now hope to

take up a place to study

Medicine at either Bristol

University or King’s College,

London. I also hope to

develop my refereeing career

and am setting myself the

target to officiate at matches

in the Football League within

the next 10 years.

As a medical applicant the support offered bythe Medics, Dentists and Vets Scheme has beensuperb – our every need has been catered for.

“One aspect of the school which stands outand has been so important to our family hasbeen the pastoral care. Children of allabilities and personalities are respected forwho they are. The staff really supportchildren through more difficult times whetherin or outside school.

Youngsters are prepared for the worldbeyond, developing life skills and becomingself-assured, polite and caring adults.”

“Pupils are generous of their time to helpothers. They have a keen awareness of thosewho are less fortunate than they are, as theyhelp in local charity shops, nurseries and aMethodist church.”

“In accordance with the school’s aims tocare for its pupils as individuals, a strongculture of support, guidance, mutual trustand respect pervades the school.Relationships amongst pupils within andacross year groups are warm and friendly.Teachers know their pupils well and pupilsfeel particularly well supported by them.”
