A Wonderful Royal Cornwall Show 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Royal Cornwall Show!

We had a fantastic, fun-filled time connecting with so many parents, alumni, pupils, prospective families, and members of our wider community.

From agriculture and show jumping to prizegiving, flowers, food, and fairground rides, the Royal Cornwall Show once again proved itself as one of the most exciting highlights in the Cornish calendar.

Although the weather wasn’t always on our side, spirits certainly weren’t dampened. Our stand showcased an impressive range of pupil work from Pre-Prep through to Sixth Form, which was enjoyed by all who visited. On Saturday, we were delighted to welcome the talented Celtic Chords and singer Ella.

Our hands-on activities were a big hit with children and families, from decorating our community lion to taking on our giant Jenga game, with each block uniquely decorated to represent departments across the school. Our friendly dinosaur from the Geology department was another highlight, with many young visitors thrilled to take home their very own mini dinosaur.

Just next door, Truro School Enterprises drew crowds with their ever-popular strength bar challenge, inviting guests to test their stamina before indulging in delicious homemade cupcakes from the Truro School Cookery Café. On Friday, our Cookery School team also delighted visitors with live food demonstrations and tempting tasters, a real treat for foodies.

Elsewhere, Prep pupils were proud to have their ceramics and posies featured in the Craft Tent, while musicians from our Senior School were honoured to perform at the Age UK tent – a special opportunity our young performers embraced wholeheartedly.

Over the course of the three days, we had so many lovely conversations and are truly grateful to everyone who stopped by, took part in an activity, or simply came to say hello. And, of course, we must mention that on Friday, Prince William popped by to enquire about school places for his children (well… we’re only joking, but we’re sure he meant to and will be in touch soon).

If you weren’t able to attend but would like to learn more about places at Truro School, our Admissions Team would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch at admissions@truroschool.com
