Girls who attend all-girls schools get better exam results than girls with similar backgrounds from co-ed schools, according to new research released!

The research by FFT Datalab revealed that pupils at girls’ schools received a significant academic boost, with grades equivalent to 10% higher at GCSE in 2023. This finding reinforces previous studies that have highlighted the numerous benefits of an all-girls educational environment. In addition to academic excellence, the report underscores that girls in single-sex schools develop greater confidence and resilience. The supportive and focussed atmosphere helps them grow mentally tougher, better preparing them for future challenges.

Overall, the research suggests that all-girls schools play a crucial role in nurturing well-rounded, academically successful, and self-assured young women! As we’ve always said, a Truro High education really is the best start in life for your daughter.
