Humphry Davy School 29 Mar 2021 Massive congratulations to HDS 2020 leaver, Luca, who was selected to dance on the Live final of The Voice UK! Luca travelled to London for a week of rehearsals with five other dancers and performed in three numbers on the show including the judges opening song! What a fantastic opportunity! Luca was the youngest of the dancers and for his first professional job, this is an extremely popular Saturday night ITV show, televised live so he certainly dived straight in at the deep end. Luca loved every minute and described it as 'intense and hard work' but 'amazing'. He continues to train at The Big Dance Company in Penzance with his mentor Lukas Mcfarlane while studying at Penwith College. Well done Luca, we are extremely proud to hear of your achievements and look forwarded to hearing of all your future successes! #HDSAlumni

Humphry Davy School 23 Mar 2021 Today is #NationalDayofReflection, marking one year since the first coronavirus lockdown was announced. We could not be more proud of how well our incredible students and staff have coped during these unprecedented times. They have risen to all challenges during a time in their lives when many of our students are making big decisions, thinking about their futures and learning so much about themselves. At 12pm today our community will fall silent to reflect on the year that has passed and our condolences will go out to all those who have been bereaved during the pandemic. We are all looking forward to brighter days to come, here's to the FUTURE!
