Ellie said: “I was thrilled to receive offers from all the universities I applied to, and being able to pick between them really helped me make sure I found the perfect place for me. I think the opportunities Truro High gave me really boosted my application and speaking about my experiences as a boarding student gave a unique twist to my interviews – not to mention the supportive environment of the boarding house being the perfect stepping stone between living at home and living at a university dorm.”
Ellie is currently on a gap year having graduated from Truro High last August with exceptional A Level results.
