Truro School’s GCSE Results 2024
Truro School’s 5th Year Pupils Celebrate Excellent GCSE Results
Today is a significant milestone for Truro School’s 5th Year pupils as they celebrate a terrific set of GCSE results. Achieving far above the national averages, over one-third of all grades were 9 or 8, including nineteen pupils who achieved all grades 9 or 8. Over 52% of all grades were 9-7, stronger than last year, as also were the outcomes for grades 9-6 and 9-5.
Yet what we celebrate today is the hard work of every pupil in our School community who has tackled their GCSEs with such ambition. The overwhelming majority of pupils have the grades they need for the next steps they have chosen. This success is achieved within a wider School experience that fosters values, and that invests in and inspires sporting, musical, dramatic, and creative opportunities for all. Whether busy and engaged in School or in the community, on trips and visits here or abroad, we are tremendously proud of who our pupils are and all they achieve. Following today, we know they have the platform and the confidence to go on and enjoy the excellence delivered through our Sixth Form Diploma program or any other pathway they choose for their future education.
Among our many success stories are Diploma Scholars Sam, Jessica, Harry and Noah. Sam achieved eleven Grade 9s, the highest possible grade in every subject. Exceptionally also, Jessica, Harry and Noah achieved Grade 9s in at least eight subjects each.
Head of Truro School, Mr Andy Johnson, congratulated the pupils saying, “We are immensely proud of all our 5th Year pupils and all their achievements in their exams and outside the classroom too. These results rightly reflect their academic abilities, dedication, and character. They open exciting doors to courses and opportunities for the years ahead. I am especially pleased, however, to celebrate this alongside the wider personal successes that are made possible by the ambitious, creative and values-based education offered at our School. The knowledge, skills, and interests these pupils have acquired are empowering them for their futures. Very well done to all.”
Pupils starting their Sixth Form journeys in September at Truro School will be supported to build on these firm foundations, working in partnership with our passionate, expert and dedicated staff. We also look forward to welcoming the many new day and boarding pupils joining us for Sixth Form from other Schools. The next exciting and inspiring educational and personal chapter begins, and we will be right by your sides throughout. Heartfelt congratulations to all pupils in all schools who collected their results today and our best wishes for all your futures.

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.
