Truro School Pupils Achieve Outstanding GCSE Results

Record-Breaking Success for Truro School’s 5th Year Pupils

Truro School’s 5th Year pupils are celebrating a remarkable achievement as they receive their GCSE results today. The school, known for its rigorous academic standards and holistic approach to education, has seen its students perform significantly above national averages, with over one-third of all grades at the highest levels of 9 or 8.

Exceptional Performances

The school reports that 52% of all grades awarded were between 9 and 7, reflecting an improvement over last year’s results. Notably, nineteen pupils earned all grades 9 or 8, with Diploma Scholars Sam, Jessica, Harry, and Noah leading the charge. Sam achieved an extraordinary eleven Grade 9s, the highest possible grade in every subject. Jessica, Harry, and Noah also excelled, each securing Grade 9s in at least eight subjects.

A Community of Ambition and Achievement

The success of Truro School’s pupils extends beyond academic results. The school emphasises that these achievements are a testament to the hard work and ambition of the entire student body. Each pupil, supported by a school community that fosters creativity, values, and a love of learning, has been able to tackle their GCSEs with determination.

The school’s Head, Andy Johnson, expressed pride in the students, noting that their results reflect not just academic abilities but also the dedication and character they have developed during their time at Truro School. He highlighted that these accomplishments will open exciting opportunities for the future, whether through Truro School’s Sixth Form Diploma programme or other educational pathways.

Looking Ahead

As Truro School prepares to welcome students back in September, those transitioning to Sixth Form will be supported to build on the strong foundation laid during their GCSE years. The school is also anticipating the arrival of new day and boarding pupils who will be joining from other schools.

The success of Truro School’s pupils is celebrated within a broader context of personal growth and development, nurtured by the school’s expert staff and extensive range of opportunities in sports, music, drama, and creative arts.

Congratulations and Future Opportunities

In a message of congratulations, the school extended its best wishes not only to its own students but to all pupils who received their results today. The school also invited prospective families to learn more about Truro School at an upcoming Open Morning on 5 October 2024.
