“Truro High School has been unbelievably supportive in every aspect from nursery through to A Levels. She could not have done this without Truro High School and the staff and teachers have been by her side on every step of the way.”

This was just one of the many comments from proud parents at Truro High School last Thursday, where 90% of students are now heading to the university of their choice this autumn after picking up their A Level results.

St Andrews, Durham, Bath, Exeter and Manchester are among the destinations for students who will read subjects ranging from Civil Engineering to Law and from Medicine to Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The school’s weekly programme for Aspiring Medics is something it is very proud of – and more than 20% of students are heading to university to read courses including Medicine, Dentistry and Physiotherapy.

A world class sailor in her spare time, Grace is off to St Andrews to read Medicine, while Rachel is heading for Manchester to read Medicine.

She was full of praise for the school’s weekly workshops for Aspiring Medics, saying: “For anyone interested in Healthcare professions it gives you a much broader understanding of all the different roles and aspects and that is so helpful when you come to apply to university and attend interviews. I just cannot believe I am going to university to read Medicine!”

Lily is heading to Plymouth to read Medicine and said: “I never thought I could do something like this. It really helped me figure out what I want to do with my life and then, over the months, gave me a real insight into the many different opportunities that exist by introducing me to so many different healthcare professionals.”

Providing opportunities for girls to discover hidden talents and unearth new passions is an important part of what the school does.

Holly will be a familiar face to all those who have heard her singing and acting in a variety of different shows. As she heads to university to study International Politics and Language, she credited the all girls environment for making her who she is.

May joined Truro High for Sixth Form and her dream is to be an actor. On Thursday she picked up the results of her A Levels in Drama, PE and Food and confirmed her place at the exclusive conservatoire ArtsEd in London. Under the leadership of its president, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the conservatoire attracts worldwide competition for a small number of student spaces each year.

Meanwhile, India may be leaving school in Cornwall, but the Sixth Former is looking forward to jumping back into uniform – and a very famous uniform at that!

Having picked up excellent results in her French, History and English A Levels, India is headed to the prestigious Norland College in Bath to study BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care degree alongside the prestigious Norland diploma.

Norland is famous across the globe with its nannies among the most sought-after childcare practitioners in the world. India has been busy honing her skills at school over the last few years and is a familiar face in the school’s Pre-Prep department where she leads weekly reading sessions aided by wellbeing dog Truffle.

There was great success for students taking Modern Languages for A Level, with 70% of all passes at grades A* or A.

Among those celebrating was Hazel who will be heading to Bristol University to read Modern Languages having earned a clutch of top grades.

Three years of Mathematics at Durham now beckon for Truro High School’s Celeste who collected three A* in Maths, Further Maths and Physics as well as an A* EPQ (Extended Project Qualification).

Celeste joined Truro High aged four and says her love of Maths has been inspired and fuelled by the teachers who have guided her from Pre-Prep right through to Sixth Form.
