Charlotte said: “I felt really excited to receive the offers. It’s a big achievement for me in the next steps of my education. Throughout my time at Truro High, I have gained a wide range of skills from Lifeguarding to launching a campaign to promote clothing sustainability as part of the EPQ. I thinking these additional skills really impressed the universities along with my portfolio.”
