Schools in Truro

Awarded city status in 1877 on the creation of the Diocese of Truro, this cathedral city of around 21,000 people is Cornwall's county town and its only city, a centre for county administration, retail, and public life. Truro Cathedral, completed in 1910, anchors a compact city centre that draws families from across the wider county.

Central Truro is among the most sought-after pockets for primary catchments, while Mount Hawke and Tregony draw families competing for primary places across the rural hinterland. Moresk and Polwhele mark the city's residential edges. Rail services on the Cornish Main Line connect the city to Exeter in around two and a half hours.
