My name is Macarena,
I’m Spanish but have lived in many countries before. I’m in Lower Sixth doing my first year of A Levels, and I have been in the school for two years. I chose Truro School because my dad went to this school and it’s an outstanding school. I enjoy the social aspect a lot; the people are all great, the teachers and the support given are very useful as well as the clubs and activities offered are so varied. There are so many opportunities.
To anyone thinking of coming to Truro School I would recommend it 100%. It is a great school academically, and so much is learnt not only educational-wise but about common-sense day-to-day life, such as in PSHE lessons. Lessons are really engaging, with lots of teamwork and individual work to keep students motivated and interested. There’s time to discuss and debate topics and answer questions independently, so I have learned so much from others too.
There are many clubs to choose from, from sports to yoga to card making. You can select whatever you are interested in. I am currently doing four A Levels, maths, English, psychology and Business Studies. I hope to do something in the categories of the liberal arts, such as economics, business, international relationships or marketing. I enjoy learning about day-to-day life as well as business life. I hope to work for a big marketing firm or help people in the future. I have struggled with what to focus on, but the career guidance is excellent and has helped me discover what suits me.
¡Hola! Me llamo Macarena y soy española. He vivido en varios países debido al trabajo de mi padre.
Este curso estudio grade 11, que equivaldría en Españaa a primero de Bachillerato, haciendo mi primer año de A levels .
Es mi segundo año en el colegio y estoy encantada.
Decidí venir a estudiar a Truro porque mi padre es antiguo alumno y siempre nos ha contado lo mucho que le gustó pasar aquí esos años estudiando. Y además creo que es un buen colegio.
Me gusta mucho la vida aquí. Todo el mundo es agradable y los profesores transmiten lo que les gustan sus asignaturas. Todo el mundo te apoya y ayuda cuando lo necesitas, lo que se convierte en que tú también quieras apoyar y ayudar cuando te necesitan.
Tenemos una variedad muy amplia de actividades para practicar y los clubes de extraescolares son muy divertidos.
De hecho, hay tantas cosas pora probar en el colegio que me parece una fantástica oportunidad para cualquiera que esté pensando en venir. Lo recomiendo al 100%, porque además de un nivel académico muy alto y aprender mucho, también nos enseñan en el
el día a día a ser independientes y a saber cómo desenvolvernos en la universidad y en la vida adulta .
Las clases son dinámicas e interesantes, con numerosas opciones para elegir de asignaturas y usan diferentes métodos de estudio. Trabajamosos tanto en equipo como individualmente, tenemos tiempo para debatir y comentar sobre las tareas o para que nos respondan dudas y preguntas. Otras veces aprendes a trabajar por tu cuenta y así cada alumno descubre qué es lo mejor para él, y crea su propio método de estudio.
Abundan los diferentes clubes deportivos y de hobbies, como ya he comentado: desde yoga a alfarería o fabricación de textiles, por ejemplo. Puedes elegir el que más te convenga y con el que más disfrutes, ¡tienes muchos horarios disponibles para que puedas asistir!
Este curso estoy haciendo cuatro asignaturas, que aquí se llaman “A levels”: matemáticas, inglés, psicología y economía de la empresa. Espero estudiar algo relacionado con las ciencias sociales tipo economía, relaciones comerciales internacionales o márketing, ya que disfruto aprendiendo sobre el día a día, así como de la vida empresarial. Algún día me gustaría trabajar para una gran empresa de marketing o en algo relacionado con ayudar a la gente.
Me ha costado decidir qué estudiar y a qué me quiero dedicar en el futuro, ya que tenía tantas opciones que era difícil elegir, pero la orientación profesional y tan personal que tenemos en Truro es muy útil y me ayudó a saber qué es lo que de verdad quiero.

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.
