We’ve joined hundreds of schools across the UK, and around the world, to take part in Waste Week 2020.
This year the focus is plastic – an amazing resource, but one we all need to think more carefully about. How can people help solve the problem of plastic waste?
This week the school’s Environmental Consultation Organisation (ECO) have been delivering chapel services looking at waste in and around Truro School, encouraging pupils to think about the challenges of finding alternatives to plastic and explaining what activities they will be tasked with during Waste Week. The students behind ECO, Ellie C, Amber W, Molly M, Alister S and Maisy V, did an amazing job launching it this week with a stunning performance by Joanna V. A copy of their presentation is available on the link below.
During school time pupils will be taking part in a waste audit and aiming to reduce waste using the fact sheet, found on this week’s Friday bulletin. We will then retake the audit next week and see if we have reduced the amount that we are producing. A larger scale audit will be undertaken by the school itself. The aim is to look at how much waste we are producing and then aim to reduce it from an individual and group point of view. When trying to help climate change, Reduce, then Reuse and Repurpose.
Waste Week 2020 – Let’s make a difference!
Thank you to the ECO for organising this campaign and we look forward to reducing waste throughout the school.
If parents would like to be involved, they can complete the following survey this week, and then repeat the survey again next week. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BHT59HY If you would like more information or to get involved, please email [email protected]

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.
