On behalf of our boarding community, we are delighted to share the excellent news that Truro School has been shortlisted for ‘Boarding School of the Year’ at the Independent Schools of the Year 2023.
Head of Boarding, David McKeown, joined in 2022 and has led boarding in the UK and abroad for many years. David says, “We are proud of the bespoke boarding offering. We like the fact that we know the students and their families well. We want our boarders to feel happy and settled here with us. It is a home away from home.”
As one boarder, Gabriel, says, “Boarding at Truro School is like one big family” and we are very excited to have been shortlisted from hundreds of schools across the country in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards, designed to ‘highlight the excellence of the student experience offered by the UK’s amazing independent schools’.
Truro School Prep has also been shortlisted for ‘Prep School of the Year’.
A list of Finalists will be published in September and the winners, chosen by the Independent Schools of the Year judging panel will be announced at an awards ceremony in October.

Our school motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem to be), captures the essence of our identity and is defined by the 5 C's below. Underpinned by strong Christian principles, we are a caring and inclusive community which values, nurtures and develops each individual.

Curiosity to always want to discover and learn more, academically and more widely too.
Because we believe that academic excellence is an important part of human excellence. Every child is an individual and we celebrate and develop their uniqueness, helping them to become an independent learner and encouraging each child to explore, understand and cultivate their talent and abilities, whatever they may be.
Compassion to understand and champion the needs of others, in our community and beyond.
Because our mission challenges us to be a vibrant community which enables people to live their lives to the full and transform society for the better. Located in the heart of Cornwall, our distinctive, serene location supports the development of balanced, unpretentious and reflective children who understand their role as global citizens.
Confidence to build resilience by learning from both successes and failures alike.
Because we want every pupil to be comfortable in their own skin, celebrating the uniqueness of each individual in the school community. Through drama, presenting and public speaking opportunities, as well as appearing in productions and concerts, pupils learn key communication skills and gain the confidence to prosper in the real world.
Creativity to be imaginative in how we express ourselves and approach new challenges.
Because we value the development of pupils’ imaginative and creative dimensions as well as their characters. Through a broad curriculum and wide range of co-curricular activities, pupils discover the important balance between creative and logical thinking. These opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter discovers their hidden gifts, developing a sense of individuality and a confidence in their own abilities.
Courage to enjoy becoming the very best of who we are, with integrity and ambition.
Because we believe that essential life skills are often best taught outside of the classroom, balancing an academic education. Through a wide-ranging co-curricular programme, we offer every child the chance to participate, perform and lead in the fields of their choice. In a competitive world these opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter develops essential life skills and an ambition for life.
