Arriving at the Integration Facility at the Aerohub Newquay, students were firstly taken to the decontamination room where they were shown how the satellite is integrated into the rocket. Following this, they were guided to the hanger where the rocket is housed. An informative talk from one of the staff gave students an insight into how the facility works, and the growing opportunities within this sector in Cornwall and beyond. What an inspiring day!

Humphry Davy School 3 Mar 2023 We celebrated World Book Day today at HDS. World Book Day is always a fun day in school and today was no exception.

Humphry Davy School 3 Mar 2023 We have been very fortunate to have been able to work with the Cornwall-based charity, Our Only World, to design and install a new water refill station at HDS. Our Only World is a small, Cornwall-based charity on a mission to help restore the oceans with effective solutions that can be rolled out across the County and beyond. They have produced the UK’s first water refill station design that is made from old plastic fishing nets. These refill stations help eliminate the use of single use plastic water bottles that end up polluting our oceans. Located near to our playing fields and directly next to our tennis courts, our new dolphin shaped water refill station not only looks great, it enables both our students and our community users to conveniently refill their water bottles. Visit ouronlyworld.org.uk to learn more about their work.

The feedback from the students was brilliant, with students commenting: “I wish we had more time", "This has helped me so much to get an idea of the different jobs that I could do in the future", "Could we do this again so that we could visit the people we didn't get to talk to", "I understand why we do the different subjects at school now", "Wow loved it!". Thank you to everyone who attended, we know this has helped to broader our students horizons, raise aspirations and give reliable first-hand information about the routes into different careers.
