Teaching & academics
The published figures invite careful interpretation: Three Bridges records an average Attainment 8 of 7.7 against a national average of 46.9, with 17% of pupils gaining grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. With so few pupils in a cohort, headline percentages can move sharply on a handful of results and may not reflect the experience of any individual child. Families are likely to gain a fuller picture by discussing recent outcomes and the school's approach with the head directly.

The last word
A very small Truro independent that may suit families wanting close attention rather than the scale of a large school; the published results warrant a frank conversation before applying.
