A-Level Results

Students at Truro School Sixth Form had plenty of reasons to celebrate on A-Level results day with another year of excellent A-Level results and Sixth Form successes.

2023 results are in line with the strength of those of 2019, including over 43% A*/A grades, and over 14% at A* (greater success at the top grade level than in 2019). Truro School pupils also achieved 89% A*-A in their EPQs (Extended Project Qualifications) and 56% Distinctions in their Leith’s Certificates, alongside their A-Level successes, emphasising the breadth of talent and opportunity in our Sixth Form.

Exceptional achievements are being celebrated across all subject areas from Mathematics to Geology, Economics to Art, History to Music, and beyond. There are many stories of personal empowerment including students who will now go on to Harvard, Oxford, Durham, Cardiff, Exeter, Bristol, UCL and more, and to read courses as varied as Medicine, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Politics and International Relations, Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology, Geology, Sports Journalism, and more. We are equally proud of the full range of these achievements. We caught up with some of our students and their families to find out more about their bright futures and what their time at Truro School has given them and you can read their stories here.

Andy Johnson, the Head of Truro School, is delighted. He stated that “We congratulate all who have worked so hard to achieve these outcomes, as they celebrate goals met, or work now with dedicated staff offering ongoing support where plans may change. There is immense care for this year group individually and collectively. They are a superb cohort of young adults whose educational and personal journeys over the last few years have been exciting, challenging, and characterised by real compassion and courage. It has been a privilege to stand by them and work with them across that time, and on behalf of everyone at Truro School, I wish our class of 2023 every success for their future endeavours.

Beyond their outstanding academic accomplishments, this cohort are also significant to our School as the first graduates of our Sixth Form Diploma program. The range of their achievements and talents aside from their studies was honoured and celebrated earlier this year and they have been pioneers in this regard for the exciting year groups who now follow. Our Diploma program enriches their experience of Sixth Form life, enhances their choices over skills and knowledge to learn, and supports Truro School’s commitment to a values-based education that empowers young people to succeed in the future and not just within School.
