Congratulations to our Class of 2026, who have achieved Truro School’s strongest results in over a decade.
With 80% of grades awarded at A*-B, 50% at A*/A, 23% at A*, and an overall pass rate of 100%, Truro School is once again the top-performing School in Cornwall for girls and boys.
These results were achieved across our full range of subjects and reflect individual progress over the Sixth Form that will place Truro School in the top 10% nationally for value added for the third year running. Most importantly, these results open exciting pathways to young people who, through our Sixth Form Diploma framework and our commitment to knowing, supporting and challenging every student, have gained the values and wider skills to make the most of the opportunities ahead.
Head of Truro School, Mr Andy Johnson, said: “These results are exceptional. They come from the inspiring dedication of students and staff alike. What makes me particularly proud are individual journeys, with the breadth and diversity of ambition and excellence they show, and that we value and celebrate today.”
Head of Year 13, Mrs Richards, said: “One of the key strengths of our Sixth Form is that we know each and every student. Our approach is personalised around where students want to go next and what they need to achieve to get there. We regularly monitor progress and involve parents so that everyone can support the student’s journey.”
Success is being celebrated across the humanities, creative arts, mathematics, languages, and sciences alike, and in additional qualifications including the EPQ, Leiths and PE Cambridge Technicals. Students are progressing to leading universities and quality courses chosen to meet their ambitions, from Medicine to Midwifery, Veterinary Science to Interior Design, Oxbridge English to Music, Sports Management to Law, Geology to Broadcast Journalism, and more besides.
Our Sixth Formers routinely achieve beyond nationally benchmarked expectations, including those who have been here previously and those joining in Year 12, boarders and day pupils alike, and those with SEND or EAL. Our Sixth Form Diploma programme puts a framework around A-Level study that develops leadership, service, intellectual curiosity, co-curricular engagement, and personal confidence. 83% of this year’s cohort achieved Gold or Silver Diploma awards alongside these A-Level outcomes.
As we congratulate the 2026 cohort, we are excited to support those who follow, including welcoming a strong Year 12 in September, with numbers showing a growing interest in a Truro School Sixth Form education.
Sixth Form Open Evening – Tuesday 22 September
Prospective students and their families are warmly invited to join us from 5pm–8pm to meet us and discover what makes a Truro School education distinctive. Find out more here: https://www.truroschool.com/open-evening/
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.
