Humphry Davy School 22 May 2025 Students visited Gwithian Beach this term to take part in the Penwith Surf Competition, hosted by Global Boarders. Despite the small surf conditions, the event was a fantastic showcase of local talent and determination. The team from HDS achieved some brilliant results across the day. In the girls 7–11 category, the team secured a strong 4th place finish and the boys in the 7–9 category saw two impressive performances, earning both 3rd and 4th places. The highlight came from students competing in the boys 10–11 category, where a determined effort led to a well-deserved 2nd place. What a team with a fantastic set of results! Well done to all competitors for their hard work and sportsmanship throughout the event.

Humphry Davy School 20 May 2025 Issy truly excelled herself, skillfully blending her vocal talent with her passion for acting to deliver a captivating and expressive performance for her Grade 3. A beautifully crafted performance, earning her a very well-deserved distinction with 95/100 – an outstanding achievement!

Humphry Davy School 19 May 2025 Our Year 8 girls delivered a strong and spirited performance at a cricket tournament held at Grampound Road Cricket Club last week. Competing against tough opposition, our team won 4 out of their 6 matches—an impressive achievement that reflected their hard work, determination and skill. The girls showed excellent teamwork, supporting each other on and off the pitch. Their fielding was sharp, their bowling consistent, and their batting was confident, ensuring every run was worked hard for! Each player contributed to their success, making it a great team effort. It is safe to say their cricket skills have been improving significantly this year. Well done girls and keep it up!

Humphry Davy School 13 May 2025 Ben Cook from Sustainable Penzance visited us last week to work with students and raise awareness on the issues of plastic pollution in the marine environment. The character of Captain Banplastic, a surfing superhero, was created by two surfers who wanted to highlight the problem of plastic and water pollution in our seas and to encourage individual, small, positive daily actions and maybe find the superhero that we all have the potential to become. Ben displayed some slides showing the devastating effects of plastic pollution on our oceans and engaged the students in a discussion on the issues. They looked through the Captain Banplastic Origin Story Zine, answered questions and used their imagination to create their own superhero and the environmental problems they are trying to solve. Students enjoyed the workshop, were keen to participate in discussion on this important issue and to create superheroes of their own! Thank you Ben for coming in, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Humphry Davy School 9 May 2025 After three challenging days and countless miles covered, our Silver DofE teams successfully completed their practice expedition! It took every ounce of grit and determination to push through long uphill trails. With tired legs, and heavy packs, our students made it through with smiles. We were lucky to have fine weather across all days, which lifted spirits and gave some unforgettable views. Thanks to accurate navigation skills, everyone stayed on course and supported each other every step of the way. Well done everyone!

Humphry Davy School 8 May 2025 On Wednesday 30th April, our Reading Ambassadors attended The Kernow Youth Book Awards (KYBA) in ‘The Fibre Hub’ at Pool. As part of our school’s commitment to being sustainable, we walked down to the train station (in glorious sunshine) and caught the train to the event! There were some amazing and very different authors to entertain and inspire the students with talks and workshops. These included Robin Fulvey, Bex Hogan and Matt Oldfield. Robin talked about his book Fulmar, based on a boy whose life was saved by surfing, Bex discussed the darker side of fairytales and her book Nettle, whilst Matt spoke about the very popular series of football books that he’s written with his brother Tom. At the end, a free book and certificate was given to each student, courtesy of The National Literacy Trust. It was an inspiring day and our students shone at being engaged, imaginative and articulate!

Humphry Davy School 30 Apr 2025 Our Kit Car Club is revving up for another exciting season! They kicked things off by stripping down last year's cars - an important first step that gave a real insight into previous designs. This hands-on teardown sparked tons of discussion around improvements and fresh design ideas. While debates over design flew across the workshop, the team decided to start where it counts: the electrics. Leading the way were students Kenza, Kit and Sam whose impressive skills and expertise offered plenty of learning opportunities that got the whole team moving forward with confidence. Kenza is very experienced in wiring cars so was truly in her element, whilst Kit and Sam worked with the cars last year so enjoyed taking the reins in a more senior role. Throughout the process, the team have shown outstanding teamwork, problem solving skills and innovation, working together to navigate challenges and push their ideas forward. The club continues to be a brilliant example of STEM learning in action and we can't wait to see how the build takes shape! Good work everyone!

Humphry Davy School 11 Apr 2025 Our penultimate day on the slopes and what a day it’s been! All skiers and boarders made it to the top of the mountain, soaking up the beautiful sunshine and breathtaking views. The energy is high, the snow is still fantastic, and the memories just keep coming. One more day to go—let’s make it count! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 10 Apr 2025 What a glorious day today! With the sun beating down on our fast-improving boarders and skiers, confidence was certainly in abundance! Another luge run to end the afternoon. Now for disco and karaoke! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 9 Apr 2025 Yesterday, cold, crisp and glistening slopes greeted our skiers. By mid-morning the sun had made its way over the mountain and the snow conditions were perfect. It was great to see everyone progressing and having so much fun! Yesterday evening, the fun continued off slope with everyone enjoying an exhilarating luge run, followed by board games before bed. Today, we've seen everyone progress further. Well done everyone…a fantastic day, and we’re looking forward to the quiz tonight! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 7 Apr 2025 Day one on the slopes of Les Orres, as anticipated, has been packed full of action! Waking up to a beautiful bluebird morning, the conditions were perfect for our skiers and snowboarders. By lunchtime, the beginners had truly found their feet...the intermediates were becoming more adventurous...and the more experienced students were flying! After their evening meal, everyone still had the energy for some spectacular sledging. Amazing to see their determination and resilience. Well done everyone! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 6 Apr 2025 Our HDS 2025 ski trip is now well underway! Whilst it was a long journey, the coach and ferry travel went smoothly, and our students have been fantastic HDS ambassadors! Docking at Calais yesterday, the journey continued overnight, and today they enjoyed lunch by the side of a spectacular river en route. Arriving safely in Les Orres, they’ve had a jam packed afternoon! Quickly settling into their rooms, they received an orientation tour of the resort followed by boot/equipment fitting and, having just finished a fantastic meal, they are now snowballing in the evening sun! Everyone is looking forward to a good nights sleep before hitting the slopes in the morning. Check back tomorrow to see all the action from their first day! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 4 Apr 2025 Our latest newsletter is now available on our website. Have a great Easter everyone, see you all on Tuesday 22nd April! https://humphrydavy.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/document/April-2025.pdf?t=1743770706?ts=1743771129

Humphry Davy School 4 Apr 2025 ‘Beyond The Labels’ is a lunchtime group that has been run by local organisation RJ Working, at Humphry Davy School, since October 2024. The project introduces young people to Restorative Practice as a set of skills and a way of working together which supports leadership and teamwork. Youth Workers from the RJ Working team have supported students in Years 9, 10 and 11 to build a safe and supported space to make connections, and explore issues related to identity. The group celebrates the ways in which we are different, and also the ways in which we are same, by finding the threads that connect us. These sessions have included games and creative activities; looking at issues that are important to them and how to challenge stereotypes and overcome prejudice. The ‘Beyond The Labels’ group decided that they wanted to do something to share the values of their group with the wider community. The result is a beautiful mural that they designed and painted on our school grounds. The artwork is a stunning display of colour and natural shapes. Filled with words that are of great importance to us as a school, as well as a special someone who we hold very dear to our hearts. Our very own resident cat, Minstrel (who is still happily enjoying his retirement), has earned his place on the beautiful wall for all to see. It has been so lovely hearing all the comments of admiration and support as other students and staff move about the school throughout the day. The weather has certainly been on our side, with beautiful sunshine beaming down on our team as they transformed this blank canvas into their vision. Thank you RJ Working for helping their idea come to life and a big ‘well done’ to our students for creating such a stunning mural for our school community to enjoy for years to come. RJ Working

Humphry Davy School 3 Apr 2025 On Monday, we hosted our first ever trampoline event for local secondary schools. The amazing trampolines are a new addition to the PE department and have been a hugely popular afterschool club since we introduced them after Christmas. The competitors created their own 10-bounce routine and performed it in front of a panel of judges and fellow participants. The fantastic support and encouragement from everyone involved helped the performers showcase their routines with confidence and pride. The event was an outstanding success for all those who took part, there was a real sense of achievement and enjoyment. Due to its success, we are excited to announce that this will now be an annual event!
