Our Mission, Vision and Values
At Truro High School we are proud of our reputation as a leader in girls only education and our mission, vision and values are the beating heart of all that we do.
Our Vision
Where girls are known and valued as individuals in an inspiring and holistic educational environment, forged on the firm foundations of compassion and empathy. Girls are supported and challenged to embrace opportunity and strive for personal excellence in all that they do. We embolden girls to become independent thinkers and problem solvers, whose intellectual curiosity and academic determination drives them forward to bright futures as globally minded citizens.
Our Values
Curiosity: Through dynamic teaching and positive mentoring girls develop a life-long love of learning, fuelled by intellectual curiosity and driven by academic determination. Where girls find their voice as critical thinkers and develop academic passion that knows no limits.
Creativity: Where creativity in all forms is celebrated and girls learn to cherish originality and innovation. Imaginations are nurtured and a sense of awe and wonder is never far away. Girls are unafraid of taking creative risks in their learning and have the confidence to tackle real world problems with fresh thinking.
Courage: Where a can-do attitude is fostered and girls embrace challenges in and outside of the classroom with determination. Where mistakes are nothing more than learning experiences on the journey to success and resilience is grown with every step along the way. Where girls are ambitious for the future; they find and raise their voices to advocate for justice for all.
Compassion: Where girls are interested and empathetic, showing genuine respect and care for others and the environment. They are keen to do all they can to make this a better world, both locally and globally. Girls are encouraged to be open-minded and develop integrity; having the strength of character to do what is right, rather than just what is easy. Serving with agape at the heart of what they do is relished and celebrated.
Community: Where the tremendous power of teamwork and collaboration are valued, with girls encouraged to be outward-facing and recognise the positive benefits of local, national and global interconnection. The quality of relationships in our warm community is second to none and the encouragement and celebration of success is enjoyed by all. Where they are taught that their words and deeds should aim to ensure a secure future for all.
Ambition: Where young people know that their teachers are their champions and they are empowered to become the best possible versions of themselves. Brimming with hope for the future, the girls leave ready to face whatever it may hold with a humble sense of confidence.
