Shortlisted Independent Schools of the Year Awards

We are delighted to announce that both Truro School and Truro School Pre-Prep have been shortlisted for awards at this year’s Independent Schools of the Year Awards.

Organised by Independent School Parent magazine, these awards regularly receive hundreds of applications from prestigious schools across the country, and so it is an honour to once again be shortlisted in two categories.

Independent School Parent wrote: “Once again, the judges of the Independent Schools of the Year awards have been overwhelmed with entries from schools across the UK of all shapes and sizes. With a record number of entries received, it has been harder than ever to reach a decision on which schools to shortlist and put forward to the next stage of the campaign.”

Truro School and Truro School Pre-Prep were nominated for awards in the Independent School of the Year (South) and Pre-Prep of the Year category.

Dr Helen Wright, chair of the judging panel, said: “Reading through this year’s entries, the judges have been particularly struck by the resilience and determination shown by the UK independent schools sector in the face of unprecedented challenge to their existence. Meantime, globally, independent schools are facing up to political uncertainty with equal levels of fortitude. Independent schools across the world, it is clear, are working harder than ever to ensure that their students – and the whole community – will develop into well-rounded human global citizens who are able to make the most of their own skills, in order to contribute positively to humanity.”

With many new names appearing in the list of schools which have entered the awards this year, it is going to be extremely tough to settle on the eventual winners. We wish all of you the best of luck going forward and, in the meantime, are delighted to commend the rich collection of entries being announced today.”

Finalists will be announced on Tuesday 9 September and the winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony in October.
