In the December 2009, boarding at Truro School underwent an Ofsted Inspection, and was awarded an overall rating of ‘Good’, which is defined as ‘this aspect of the provision is strong’.  This included three ‘Outstandings’ in the following categories, which means that ‘this aspect of the provision is of exceptionally high quality’:

• Helping children to be healthy
• Helping children make a positive contribution
• Helping children achieve well and enjoy what they do

The inspectors found that, “Boarders frequently described boarding in terms of being “home from home”, “a community”, and “a positive experience”. Boarders appreciate the house staff describing them as "genuinely caring” and “very approachable” or “legend”.”
