Humphry Davy School 25 Apr 2024 Yesterday HDS music scholars and singers walked down the road to perform for St Marys RC Primary School. The primary focus was singing, but there was also time for students to introduce themselves and their instruments to their younger peers. Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Flute, Double Bass and drums! It was great fun and the first step toward inspiring the next generation of HDS musicians!

Humphry Davy School 24 Apr 2024 This week students took part in the HDS Spring Recital at Zennor Theatre, Penwith College. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to perform in the college theatre space with a professional sound set up, meticulously organised by our Performance Co ordinator Mr Bosworth. HDS continued its strong jazz tradition with outstanding performances from New Notes jazz band, Scholar's jazz band and a 'jazzy' arrangement of the Sound Garden classic Black Hole Sun. The night also featured some outstanding vocal performances organised by Ms Turton and Ms Kleiman, once again with our music scholars taking key roles including some wonderful solo performances. Mr Martin provided a wonderful arrangement of the Radiohead classic 'No Surprises' as well as joining our Year 11 guitarist Jet for a beautiful classical guitar duet. Extra thanks also to Mr Martin for his sound engineering skills and Ms Meyritz for her brilliant accompanying. As well as providing trombone for jazz band, Mr Chinn played a key role in calming nerves, warming students up and providing performance advice to students waiting in the wings. The music department have a busy term ahead so watch out for more performances coming soon!

Humphry Davy School 22 Apr 2024 WOW! We had an amazing time skiing in France over the Easter break. The conditions were perfect, and it was great to see how well all the students progressed on the slopes over the 6 days we were there. Showing amazing resilience, our beginner group moved on quickly from the nursery slopes…skiing down some amazing blue runs by the end of the week. The intermediates made a great effort in combatting the reds, and the advanced group…well…we simply couldn’t keep up with them! Many thanks to the team at Elemental Ski, the staff at Hotel La Portette, and our amazing instructors for looking after us for the week! We can’t wait to come back next year! SIGN UP OPEN! If your child is interested in joining us on the ski trip next year please speak with Mrs Thurston today!

Humphry Davy School 25 Mar 2024 Humphry Davy School is a comprehensive school in Penzance, Cornwall, England. The school teaches 11 to 16 year-olds.

Humphry Davy School 22 Mar 2024 This month Year 10 Geography students visited Long Rock to investigate their physical fieldwork hypothesis: “Do the benefits of the Penzance coastal defences outweigh the costs?”. Students looked at the rock armour and the revetment along the coastal path and completed an environmental quality survey, considering the appearance, cost and effectiveness of the management strategy when evaluating its effectiveness at reducing coastal erosion and flooding. Students also completed numerous wave counts to determine whether the waves approaching the coastline were constructive or destructive; enabling them to decide whether the coastal defences were needed or not. Finally, students also mapped the surrounding land use to determine whether significant infrastructure in the local area would be at risk of flooding without the coastal defences. This data, supported with secondary data, will be presented and analysed by students back in school allowing them to evaluate the costs and benefits of the coastal management schemes in Penzance.

Humphry Davy School 13 Mar 2024 On Friday Science week started with a bang, or more accurately a WOOOF! Sergeant Little of Devon and Cornwall Police visited HDS with his victim recovery dogs to talk to students about his role in the police force and the capabilities of his amazing dogs. A selection of Year 7 and 10 students had the opportunity to see them in action as Skye the Sprocker found bandages hidden around the drama hall and Rex the 2 year old German Shepherd worked the room to the delight of everyone! Sargent Little captivated the audience with his in-depth accounts of how the dogs work and form an invaluable asset in keeping us all safe. We are massively grateful to Sargent Little, Skye and Rex for their valuable time. Science week runs for the rest of this week and has similar fascinating activities to open the mind to new possibilities.
