A-Level Results

Outstanding A-Level results place Truro School as the best school in Cornwall.

Truro School celebrated exceptional A-Level results, with 50% of grades awarded at A*/A and over 80% at A*-B. This year’s outcomes further reinforce Truro School’s position as one of the best schools in Cornwall. Last year Truro School placed in the top 10% nationally for value added at A-Level, and these results are stronger again.

Reflecting on the results, Head of Truro School in Cornwall, Mr Andy Johnson, said:

“We are extremely proud of our students and today’s results. These headline figures are another year of even stronger outcomes for the young people we educate. Their ambition, courage, and dedication, matched by the support of their families and friends, and the expertise and inspiration of our staff and Sixth Form team, is a source of joy to all associated with our School community.

The value of the Truro School Sixth Form in Cornwall to the futures of these young people is immense and is shown by more than the exceptional grades. By 10am today over 99% of our students had the security of being on pathways of their own choice. These included success with all our Oxford applications, at Imperial, UCL, with Dentistry, and on specialist training courses, in degree apprenticeships, and careers in creative industries. As a School we know that an education built on values and supporting diverse individual ambitions paves the way for our leavers to thrive in and positively shape a complex and rapidly changing world.”

Academic success was achieved across the curriculum. Half the cohort achieved A*s in Geology and in Design, and in six subjects, from Religious Studies to Further Maths, every student achieved A*-B. Excellence extended beyond A-Levels too, with over 73% of EPQ projects awarded A*. In the Leiths cookery qualification 90% achieved Distinction or Merit, and in PE CTEC 100% of grades were Distinctions and Distinction Stars.

All Sixth Formers have benefitted from our distinctive Sixth Form Diploma programme that runs alongside A-Level study, enabling them to extend their learning and develop as individuals and as leaders beyond the examined curriculum. The Diploma is just part of Truro School’s commitment to supporting and empowering the young people in our care.

Truro School’s A-Level results day was a celebration not only of academic achievement but also of the personal journeys. You can read more about these stories on the link below.
