Thank You Cornwall Farmers! RICHARD LANDER SCHOOL WEEKLY BULLETIN 20th March 2014 Dear Parents / carers, Our Year 7 students have had great success in sport: with the Year 7 girls winning the county netball tournament and Year 7 boys winning the county Rugby 7s tournament. The boys team are now county champions in both the 13-a-side as well as 7-a-side tournaments. Our thanks to the PE staff for their great coaching and for supporting these teams. The Collaborative Arts Expo at the Lander Gallery was also a terrific success. This focused on year 8 students from Richard Lander, Penair, the Roseland, Truro School, Truro High School and Education out of School students, working together to produce an art exhibition of high quality, displayed at the Lander Gallery. This year’s theme was ‘Journeys’. My thanks to Mr Conrad and the rest of the Art department for all their efforts in this respect. Our Year 7 Science drop down day was also very successful. It saw 250 students working in teams to design their own rollercoasters and learn about forces. Year 9 students tracked the day with video cameras and we hope a film of this will be put onto the website soon. Our thanks to Mrs Bond for her lead in planning this day. It has also been a pleasure to welcome out French exchange students – who have been with host families for the past week. The return leg takes place at the end of the next week and we wish our students a safe journey and enjoyable time. This is a partnership exchange along with Penair School. Our thanks to Mrs Stokes for all her work to support this.

  • Truro School Public Benefit and Charitable Activity Report 2015-16
    TRURO SCHOOL PUBLIC BENEFIT AND CHARITABLE ACTIVITY REPORT 2015-16 Objective 5 of Truro School’s Strategic Plan is: “To be celebrated as a socially and environmentally responsible member of the Cornish community.” This report outlines the range of activities undertaken by the school and its staff to support the local and wider community. Financial Support to families of Pupils at Truro School Truro School is committed to keeping its doors open to as many students as possible from the local community who will benefit from a Truro School education, regardless of the financial means of their parents. Scholarships (academic, sport, music, art, fencing, drama and chorister) are merit based but are small in value, usually 10%. However, bursaries are available which may provide financial support up to a maximum of 100%, dependent on the outcome of means-testing. Special emergency discretionary bursaries can also be awarded, usually for a limited time, when unforeseen financial difficulties arise for those parents whose children are currently in the School. These special bursaries are generally awarded for a key period of education such as completion of GCSEs or A Levels. When available, places are found in the boarding accommodation to overcome a domestic or family crisis. Funding for these bursaries comes from Truro School, the Truro School Foundation, Methodist Independent Schools Trust and some external Educational and Charitable Trusts. Benefits to Local Community The pupils' Community Service Scheme involves Truro School pupils helping with the elderly, young children at nurseries and in charity shops. The School Chaplain leads services throughout the county (including the Royal Cornwall Hospital) as a Minister of the Methodist Church and other staff are lay preachers in the community.

Rachel Vaughan A great highlight of the year for me was this year’s Teacher of English and Drama London Reunion, which took place in October and Lead Mentor to the Choristers of Truro Cathedral coincided with the Girl Choristers singing evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral. In my other role, as a mentor to the Choristers, I hear these amazing musicians perform on an almost daily basis, but there was something utterly magical about hearing them in this spectacular setting. Following evensong, we had a short walk across the square to Juxon House for our drinks reception where we were able to mingle on a balcony overlooking St Paul’s itself. It was great to see both the rekindling of old friendships and the establishment of new connections between former pupils of a wide range of vintages.

  • Edition 20 2019/2020
    WEEKLY UPDATE: EDITION 20 2019/2020 PAGE ONE: THOUGHTS FROM THE HEAD Dear Parents, Despite the rain, we have many moments of metaphorical sunshine this week, and even one whole day with the real thing. As you will see in these pages, staff and students really took advantage of a break in the rain to prepare the Orchard and green house for later spring planting. I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labour when we head into the summer months. This week we have also enjoyed reflecting on last summer’s examination successes, as we have looked in detail at the Department for Education results. More detail will be on the school website at the beginning of next week, but the percentage of pupils achieving GCSES at Grade 5 or above in Maths and English was an excellent 67% against a national average of 40% and a Cornwall average of 39%. The best performing state-funded school in Cornwall achieved 40%, and St Joseph’s was ahead of many South West Independent schools – including a number with selective intake– by a wide margin. The school’s Attainment 8 score was also in the top two in the county – an outstanding achievement for a non- selective school. Attainment 8 measures a student's average grade across eight subjects and is designed to encourage schools to offer a broad, well-balanced curriculum. With St Joseph’s scoring 57.2 against a national average of 44.7 and a Cornwall average of 45.4, it is clear that this balance is being very successfully struck.
