Humphry Davy School 9 Jul 2021 Our summer production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was a wonderful success and we have had some lovely feedback from many audience members! A Shakespeare play performed ‘in the round’ is big change from our usual Christmas Panto but our students embraced the challenge and delighted in the opportunity to take part. Pupils from local primary schools were invited to be our first audience members and, whilst sitting on hay bales and blankets, watched our students perform their version of the bard's comedy with glee. It was lovely to see our students grow throughout the process of this play and the outcome was a truly wonderful show that was enjoyed by many. In such uncertain times we know that creating this play has been an enriching experience for them all. The dedication, time, effort and talents of our young people really shone through to enable us to bring the show to life, well done everyone involved. We cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

We’ve had so much fun spending time with them and can’t wait for them to join us again for Summer School before starting y7 in September! Welcome to the HDS family!
