Values and vision
Truro High School strives to provide a personalised and happy all-round education that enables every girl to achieve her life and career aspirations. It aims to achieve this by offering outstanding teaching and pastoral care. It encourages girls both to grasp opportunities and to aim high, and to care for others in the community.
