Congratulations to Molly on achieving the highest Geology GCSE mark in the country.
Miss Hope, Head of Geology, presented Lower Sixth student Molly with an engraved Geological hammer in celebration of her hard work and success in achieving, what we believe to be, the top mark in the country for GCSE Geology. Miss Hope commented, “Molly is an outstanding Geologist with a natural talent for the subject.”
The Geology Department at Truro School has long been regarded as the leading Geology department in the UK, and their enthusiasm and expertise have further cemented this reputation with recent A-Level results achieving 100% A*-A.
Furthermore, we understand that 5 of the top 10 GCSE results in the country this year were achieved by Truro School pupils.
Molly is currently studying A-Level Geology and plans to follow in the footsteps of many Old Truronians who have gone on to study Geology at University.
A superb achievement – well done Molly!

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.
