Speech Day 2025

On Wednesday we gathered in the beautiful surroundings of Truro Cathedral to celebrate Speech Day 2025, a special occasion to honour the achievements and contributions of our pupils and students, and to say a final farewell to our Upper Sixth Leavers.

Outside the Cathedral, the talented ensemble Celtic Chords set an uplifting tone, while inside, Joseph and Lilla performed on the organ. Guests and families rose to welcome the arrival of the platform party and Upper Sixth Leavers, marking the formal start of proceedings.

The ceremony was opened in prayer by Reverend Helen Byrne, the School Chaplain, before Richard Thomas, Chair of Governors, addressed the congregation. Head of Truro School, Andy Johnson, spoke with warmth and pride, reflecting on the collective efforts and successes of the past academic year, and the spirit of the school community.

After joining together in the hymn Singing the Faith, the celebration continued with the Prizegiving, recognising the dedication, progress and exceptional contributions of Truro School pupils across the year groups and subjects.

One of the most memorable moments of the ceremony was hearing from Head Girl Elowyn and Head Boy Finlay, who shared heartfelt reflections on their time at Truro School.

The Truro Cathedral Choristers then performed beautifully, providing a fitting musical tribute to the spirit of the day. Reverend Helen Byrne led the Final Benediction as the congregation rose once more, before the platform party departed, marking the close of another significant chapter in the life of the school.
