Truro School have celebrated a significant milestone as it celebrates GCSE results Day.
The year 11 pupils have achieved above the national average with over one-third of all grades at nine or eight, including 19 pupils who achieved all grades 9 or 8.
Over 52 per cent of all grades were 9 to 7, stronger than last year, as also were the outcomes for grades 9 to 6 and 9 to 5.
However, the school is celebrating the hard work of every pupil in the school who has tackled their GCSEs with ambition.
Head of Truro School, Mr Andy Johnson said: “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.”
Among the school's success stories are Diploma Scholars Sam, Jessica, Harry and Noah. Sam achieved 11 grade 9s, the highest possible grade in every subject. Jessica, Harry and Noah achieved grade 9s in at least one subject each.
Pupils starting their Sixth Form journeys in September at Truro School will be supported to build on these firm foundations, working in partnership with the school's dedicated staff.
The school is also looking 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 side throughout,” a Truro School spokesperson said.
“Heartfelt congratulations to all pupils in all schools who collected their results today and our best wishes for all your futures.”
