“I have learnt to swim. I like it when we play Splash Splash – we have to jump in the water and then…splash! I can also swim underwater.”
“We made scones and we made them with Baker Tom. We were spreading the jam, and then we squished it and made a scone. I ate mine at home.”
“We like to play with everybody. We learn about counting and sharing. I won Star of the Week . I won by doing a nice thing, I shared our game.”
“Truro School Prep was always going to be our No. 1 choice for Charlie. As parents it was reassuring to be invited and shown around the different classrooms, showcasing the superb facilities and variety of activities available to the children.
Relationships between staff and children are lovely to see; there’s a real connection and understanding of individual pupils, as staff are warm, welcoming, friendly, approachable and they ensure interaction with a good sense of fun! “

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.
