OUR COMMUNITY
Competition Houses The concept of houses had originally been established at Truro School in 1904 with East, Hall, Tower and Town (for day boys) with the idea of creating fairer competitions in sport. The houses were reformed in 1921 to incorporate all aspects of school life, not just sport. The new names reflected the early life and origins of the school as well as honouring prominent figures in the school’s history.
All pupils and staff belong to one of four competition houses - Smith, School, Vinter and Wickett. There are several house meetings each term and there are a number of competitions. Pupils can win points for their House through academic commendations, music competition, Inter-House sporting competitions, Top House Quiz, Chess, Sports Day, swimming galas and many, many more.
