Truro School

Co-educational boarding and day school in Truro, Cornwall

Striving for the most empowering educational journeys for all, a learning culture and mindset built around an absolute belief in the potential of growth for all is increasingly central to a Truro School education. Our academic outcomes at GCSE and A-level are consistently strong and we offer a nationally award-winning co-curricular programme of creative arts, music, drama, sport and outdoor education. Class sizes are relatively small and students have access to high-quality pastoral care, which supports and encourages them through their school journey.


All students are nurtured to reach their full potential, with flexible options to develop particular interests and pathways. Alongside this comes our dedication to creating well rounded individuals through our extensive co-curricular activity programme. Our first-class facilities include an on-site gym, sports hall, swimming pool and cookery school. Alongside this, we offer unrivalled Outdoor Pursuits support (for the Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors schemes) and national partnerships with Leiths Academy (cookery) and Saints South West (football). 

 

Cornwall offers a unique location for our boarders. With easy flight and rail links to London and a shuttle service to and from Heathrow Airport, it provides a blend of the very best of British boarding life.
