Truro School is a warm, welcoming community in Cornwall where pupils flourish, are inspired by their learning, and grow into confident, well-rounded individuals ready to take their place in the world.
We combine excellent academic outcomes with a nationally recognised co-curricular programme in the creative arts, music, drama, sport, and outdoor education. With small class sizes, outstanding pastoral care, and a values-driven ethos, we support every child to become the very best version of themselves.
At Truro School, we aim to inspire a lifelong interest in learning, equipping pupils with the skills, confidence, and independence to thrive in whatever path they choose. With subjects ranging from Music to Geology, pupils are encouraged to explore their passions, discover new strengths, and realise their potential.
Whilst our key focus is around developing well-rounded young people, we understand that results are hugely important. Here at Truro School we are pleased to boast consistently excellent exam results. Full details can be found on our GCSE results page.
Pupil wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. As a Methodist school, we welcome all beliefs and celebrate diversity and inclusion. Small tutor groups ensure personalised support, while our dedicated safeguarding team, on-site medical centre, and wellbeing lead provide expert care. Pupils also have access to counselling and an independent listener, helping them feel supported throughout their school journey.
Our values-based education encourages personal growth, leadership opportunities, and a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged, challenged, and empowered to thrive.
Running alongside our academic curriculum, our broad co-curricular programme gives pupils the opportunity to explore, participate in, or excel at new and existing interests.
Designed to provide a holistic and balanced education, the opportunities are plentiful and offer something for every individual. In a supportive, pressure-free environment, pupils have fun while developing confidence, teamwork, communication, and independent thinking

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.
