Our bespoke Truro High programmes for girls wishing to pursue a career in Medicine or STEM are open to all students to support their successful applications to study these highly competitive courses.

Working in partnership with industry experts and professionals, we offer a tailored calendar of lectures, workshops, mentoring and one-to-one support to best prepare our students for the applications and interviews ahead.

Guests ranging from the Head of Technology at British Cycling to the former Government heart tsar Sir Roger Boyle have all visited the school to pass on their expertise. Other weeks have seen our budding medics going behind the scenes at the hospital while their engineering colleagues pay an after-hours visit to one of the county’s biggest engineering plants.

These comprehensive programmes provide girls with the personalised support and information they need to select the best path for them and then identify, and prepare for, the specific requirements of their chosen place of study.

This includes one-to-one mentoring with industry specialists, lectures, practical workshops, additional tuition for entrance exams, unlimited online mentoring and a full programme of work experience.
