EVENTS GUIDE Introducing the Truro School Festival of Curiosity 25 June – 6 July 2022 We are delighted to announce the first of our Truro School annual festivals; a new initiative to celebrate the Truro School community and our values. Our inaugural theme will be the first of our School’s values: Curiosity. By inspiring curiosity, we help our pupils and students across Truro School and Truro School Prep to enjoy discovering and developing their knowledge and understanding through dynamic and inspiring opportunities. This year’s festival will encompass many of our Summer Term fixtures, including our Leavers’ Summer Ball, World Aims, Year 6 Play and Sports Days, but will also bring together exciting, one-off events, guest speakers and curious happenings. As a School, we are excited to welcome our School Community back to our beautiful grounds to share this celebration with you all. All events are free, unless stated otherwise.
