At Truro School Prep, we offer an unrivalled portfolio of extra-curricular clubs and activities that sit both within our timetable and as a part of our lunchtime and before and after school clubs and activities provision.
As part of our commitment to educating and developing the whole person, we recognise the importance of providing a wide range of co-curricular activities throughout the school week.
We create opportunities during the school day for our pupils to engage in extra-curricular learning. For our youngest pupils in the Pre-Prep, this is done through daily activities including Forest School, swimming, music, drama and PE.
For our Prep pupils (Years 3-6) we offer structured off-timetable Activity Afternoons on Mondays (Years 3 and 4) and Thursdays (Years 5 and 6). Sessions rotate around activities that include cookery, bushcraft, cycling, first aid, swimming, orienteering, dance and kayaking, to name but a few.
Whilst lots of fun, these activities also form a vital component of our “beyond the classroom” approach to education, empowering our pupils to develop new skills and build their confidence, curiosity, communication and teamwork.
Combined with our academic curriculum, our varied co-curricular clubs and activities programme runs before and after school and at lunchtime. With over 70 clubs and activities on offer each week, we help students to thrive through a holistic and balanced education, giving them the opportunities to try, participate or excel in whatever talent or gift they would like to pursue. In fact, our experience is that students learn almost as much outside the classroom as they do inside.
The vast majority of our clubs and activities are covered within our fee structure. The list of activities changes from term to term but offers something for every individual and represents a key part of our education “beyond the classroom”.
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.
