Truro School Named Top A-Level Performer

All at Truro School are celebrating after our Sixth Form was named the top A-Level performer of any educational institution in Cornwall, according to the latest Department for Education data. The rankings, based on the results of those who completed 16 to 18 education in the 2024, highlight the dedication and hard work of both students and staff at Truro School.

Once again Truro School secured the top spot in the league table. 37% of students attaining AAB or higher, including at least two facilitating subjects. Over 73% of all grades were A*-B, over 45% were A*/A, and over 20% were A*.

This year marked the welcome return of progress scores since the pandemic, too, which reflect the progress of students from across our full ability range and not just the highest achievers. Because this reflects the hard work of every student in the cohort, we were even more delighted by this score which placed us in the top 10% of all educational institutions nationally for value added at A-Level.

Head of School, Andy Johnson, commented, “At Truro School, we are committed to providing a unique educational opportunity in our County that empowers young people academically in a caring environment that also inspires their wider personal development through an innovative co-curriculum. Our delight for students’ grades is matched by our pride in the progress they make under our academic and pastoral support, and the empowering life choices they have as a result. This is achieved within our bespoke Sixth Form Diploma programme in a Sixth Form community that matches strength of ambition with commitment to values and individuality. I congratulate all the students and thank our staff for this achievement. I am excited by the potential of those who follow in such successful footsteps too. Congratulations, Truro School Sixth Form!”
