If you are interested in being involved, please contact Claire Tresidder, Teacher of Business and Economics, via [email protected] Hockey Match Reports Thursday 2nd Nov- U14 Girls County Hockey Tournament- Runners Up! With 16 teams involved in the county tournament, the tournament was split into 2 sections. With 7 games to play in our group and each game 24 minutes, there was a lot of hockey to be played. In our group games we did not concede one goal which reflected how well the girls were played. As we had 24 minutes in each game we didn’t rush to move the ball forward, we maintained possession of the ball which tired the opposition out and then we moved forward, the gaps appeared and we attacked the space, once one goal came the others continued. The girls transferred the ball well, out skilled the opposition and played simple but effective hockey. We won the group comfortably and went into the second semi-final with lots of positivity and excitement, we were up against Penryn who were going to be a challenge for our girls. Right from start to finish the game was intense and our girls kept pushing to get a goal, I was positive it was going to come but the patience of our players was wearing thin and frustration started to show. Half time came and the girls re-set again and reverted back to the hockey they played in the group games and the goal finally came, we won 1-0 so through to the final we were. With hardly any turnaround time due to the light, the final had to get underway pretty sharpish so the girls went from an extremely intense game straight in to another one. Truro moved the ball well and attacked positively, having the opportunities but couldn’t put the ball away past an extremely versatile and flexible keeper, she was keeping everything out, 0-0 at half time. Going into the second half, the girls were tired after a back to back semi, then final and this now started to show, mistakes happened and gaps appeared, we started playing ping pong and Truro High capitalised on this and took the opportunity they had to score the goal and that was the winning goal. If our girls didn’t play back to back or had longer to recover I think the score line would have been completely different but I was proud of the girls performance and attitude throughout the day. Tuesday 7th November- U12 Girls Hockey Festival Truro School took two teams away to the Pool Hockey Festival this week, with both teams looking strong and hoping for good results. Our Maroon team did fantastically well based on some good attacking play practiced in training and managed to beat some very good quality opposition. The Navy Team went one- step further and managed to go undefeated throughout the whole tournament without conceding a goal! The intra-school game between Navy and Maroon was the highlight of the day with some enthusiastic attacking play by the Navy team coming up against the unbeatable force of M. Higgins on debut in goal for the Maroons. A tense finish with save after save from Higgins ended in the most exciting 0-0 draw between the teams and happy players all round. A special mention is reserved for L. Craze playing her first game for Truro and scoring some great goals, also L. Worrall for scoring a hat-trick! Miss Munn/Mr Ricketts Wednesday 8th Nov- U16 Girls Hockey Regionals Truro School U16 Girls travelled to Millfield for the Regional Championships on Tuesday 7th November. Although the Girls’ knew that they had a tough day ahead of them, spirits were high and this reflected in the first game with our girls quickly winning a short corner and M. Browne clinically converting to go 1-0 up. However, we struggled to get used to a very high quality – but bouncy – pitch and two quick mistakes were brutally punished with two goals. Heads dropped slightly and good hockey from Sherborne created two goals – the 4-1 final score line not at all reflecting a game in which we could – and maybe should – have got a result. In the other games, we were bullied off the ball and out of the game by a far larger and more physical Maynard’s team – losing 3-0, and blown away in the first half by a very strong Millfield team, eventually losing 7-0 despite a 2nd half rally. The girls played incredibly well and can certainly be proud of their efforts.

  • Cornwall Schools' Shared Designated Areas
    Information Classification: PUBLIC Cornwall Schools’ Shared Designated Areas Background Cornwall Council has divided Cornwall into geographical areas called ‘designated areas’ which are each served by a specific school or schools. Designated areas assist the Council in ensuring there are enough school places and are also used to determine entitlement to school transport. Please note that the designated school for an address may not always be the one nearest to that address. All designated areas can be viewed online: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/education-and- learning/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/designated-areas/ Please be aware that not all schools include ‘living in the designated area’ as a priority in their oversubscription criteria (the criteria that will be used to decide who should be allocated places when there are more applications than places available). However, entitlement to transport to all schools is determined by Cornwall Council with regard to whether the school is in the designated area for a child’s home address or is their nearest school. In some towns in Cornwall, more than one school may be designated for an address. These are called 'shared designated areas'. These towns and the schools that are included in the shared area, as defined on the Cornwall Council mapping system (see link above), are listed in this document.

  • 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.

  • Truro School Former Pupils Association –
    @TruroSchool TruroSchoolCommunity truroschoolcommunity 8 1 0 2 TRURO SCHOOL FORMER PUPILS ASSOCIATION – 7 1 0 2 the truronian TRURO SCHOOL A message from the President Looking back over the last academic year I am struck by the growing and continued engagement between school and our alumni. This is manifest in so many tangible ways and is a sign of a vibrant community. It is also a source of strength as a school to have deep historical roots which nourish our present and provide security for our future. For this I both thank you and encourage you to stay in touch. We would love to hear more from our recent leavers – especially news of their graduation and/or first jobs. The warmth and affection of the Truro School community was no more evident than in the number of tributes which flooded in following the passing of Watson Weeks, a former English and Drama teacher who inspired a whole generation of students. I had the pleasure of meeting Watson a few years ago at a reunion dinner when I witnessed the affection held for him by so many. I am very grateful to Guy Dodd for co-ordinating arrangements for a plaque in his memory to be placed in the Burrell Theatre sometime in the future. At Speech Day we said goodbye and thank you to Dave Hunt and Jane Rainbow, two teachers with nearly seventy years of inspirational service to Truro School between them. I so enjoyed last October’s London Reunion and the joyful and spirited ambiance created by our alumni who turned up in such great number.

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.

  • AQA Workshop Truro 2016
    AQA GCSE INSET 2: Dynamics and force Venue: Richard Lander School Workshop Leader: Ben Lloyd-King (Richard Lander School) Following on from the successful launch at Truro School, the Cornwall Physics Education Partnership, supported by The Ogden Trust, held its second teacher workshop on 5 December at Richard Lander School, Truro. Delegates from five local schools attended – Camborne Science and International Academy, Falmouth School, Richard Lander School, Truro School and Wadebridge School. Led by Ben Lloyd-King (Physics teacher and greenpower car coordinator at Richard Lander) teachers tackled the required dynamics practical work from the new GCSE specifications. We have found it best to pair teachers from different schools to help provoke further discussion and sharing of ideas when testing out the practicals. It also helps to start attempting the practical with just a brief introduction from the workshop leader-- too much explanation beforehand can stifle the opportunity for the teachers to collaborate. The practicals on acceleration of trolleys, stretching of springs and measuring of density seemed simple enough, but the experience of trying to set them up showed the important thinking skills required. It was a challenging and enriching experience evaluating the practical arrangements and discussing how to improve the quality of data and create alternative arrangements. Replicating such discussions with pupils would be a very good way of ensuring pupils cover the whole range of Bloom’s taxonomy. The new GCSE theory papers will cover questions on the standard practicals, including methods of analysing results and ways of improving reliability, precision and accuracy of the recorded data. The workshop teachers began to troubleshoot the types of questions that might be asked.
