In Year 5, pupils are given the incredible opportunity of completing the new Ballerion Award alongside their curriculum. The Ballerion Award is a new award programme set up and run by Truro School Prep. It is primarily an environmental award scheme focused on wild places. It encourages awareness and responsibility for the natural environment, in a spirit of fun, adventure and exploration.
Over the year, the children will experience a variety of wild spaces in a range of ways: from exploring industrial archaeology on Bodmin Moor, cycling the coast-to-coast trail from Portreath to Devoran, an educational visit to King Edward’s Mine and a beach clean. They will also complete a self-guided conservation project and a period of service to the community.
