Humphry Davy School 23 Jul 2020 Year 11, Class of 2020. You made such an impact on us all and inspired us with your resilience, drive and determination. A hugely memorable year group, whose year was brought to an abrupt end with the arrival of Covid-19 and lockdown. We want to end this year with a video to capture some heartfelt message from the staff against the backdrop of the school you have spent the last 5 years.

Humphry Davy School 16 Jul 2020 Our music team have been working hard again creating another fantastic virtual ensemble! In support of the Cornwall Music Service Trust, our extremely talented musical students (both past and present) have put together this brilliant musical collaboration for us all to enjoy. Another polished piece from our 'New Notes Jazz Band' who continue to inspire us with their talents. This year has certainly been one that we will all remember and what better way to bring this school year to a close than to spread the joy of music. Well done everyone, another incredible production; produced right from your very own homes!

Humphry Davy School 3 Jul 2020 After a morning cardio session, ET was ready for his well earned lunch today! #lunchingwithET #ETadventures

Humphry Davy School 1 Jul 2020 At HDS we place a genuine focus on students' wellbeing alongside their academic progress. All students follow our detailed Citizenship and Personal Development Curriculum which includes lessons on physical and emotional wellbeing, being safe, developing positive relationships and strong personal qualities, careers and being happy. During lockdown we have continued to support our students in these ways setting work and providing regular wellbeing tasks. In June we used the Action for Happiness 'Joyful June' calendar, encouraging students to complete daily actions to look for what's good, even in difficult times, embracing and spreading happiness. Our video shares some of the wonderful things our students got up to in June 2020. In July our students will complete the 'Jump Back July 2020' calendar with daily actions to help them be more resilient in challenging times.

Humphry Davy School 1 Jul 2020 We really hope you enjoyed celebrating our 'virtual Mazey Day' with us! We had a lot of fun, and we really can't wait until next year when, hopefully, we'll all be able to celebrate in traditional Golowan style. Our 'Mazey Day friend', ET, hasn't 'phoned home' just yet and has extended his stay with us at the school for another week. He's been exploring the school site and, whilst he brought a smile to the faces of everyone he met around the site, we're not sure that our school cat was all that pleased to see him! #ETstrikesagain

Humphry Davy School 27 Jun 2020 Today would have been Mazey Day in Penzance. A day full of celebration, music, dancing, and parades!...a day which Humphry Davy School very much looks forward to every year! This year’s festival theme is ‘Golowan Gets Connected’ in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the first telegraph cable landing on the beach at Porthcurno. The theme certainly couldn’t have been more appropriate for this year and what an amazing job our brilliant students have done. In years gone by, our students would have been busy practising their musical performances, and putting the finishing touches to our Mazey Day Structures during lessons and after school…we haven’t let ‘lock down’ stop us! Our students and staff have been creating their own themed masterpieces at home. Withy structures, drawings, paintings and cakes were all crafted, photographed and filmed…and we have brought everything together to celebrate with our community #Golowanonline #theshowmustgoon #mazeydayonline Golowan Festival Official Page

Humphry Davy School 24 Jun 2020 This week, Humphry Davy School is joining the Penzance community online to celebrate the annual Golowan Festival. At a time when our students would traditionally have been performing music live at the Humphry Davy Statue on Mazey Day, our talented ‘Band of Fiasco’ decided not to let the current circumstances dampen their Golowan spirit! Along with our fantastic music department, the band practised the well-known song ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles and created their very own music video straight from their own homes! This year’s festival theme is ‘Golowan Gets Connected’ in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the first telegraph cable landing on the beach at Porthcurno. The theme certainly couldn’t have been more appropriate for this year and what an amazing job our brilliant students have done. We're sure you'll agree that our future musician stars have created a polished piece which is truly a fantastic production, well done to all involved! Make sure to check out our website this weekend for more, exciting, Mazey Day fun! To keep up to date with Golowan Online events, visit Golowan Festival Official Page.

Humphry Davy School 22 Jun 2020 Congratulations Jami and Lola, this weeks #hotchocfri winners!

Humphry Davy School 17 Jun 2020 Students have been busy this week creating artwork inspired by artist @petemckee! Good effort everyone!

Humphry Davy School 17 Jun 2020 On 26th April (when the 40th London Marathon would have taken place), students and staff at HDS joined the country in doing the 2.6 Challenge! Dreaming up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26, the HDS community set themselves a wide variety of challenges to suit their skills. There were no rules – apart from the Government guidelines on how to exercise safely during this time.

Humphry Davy School 15 Jun 2020 Congratulations to students Ollie and Milly who are our #hotchocfri winners this week! Enjoy your prize!

Humphry Davy School 10 Jun 2020 Important Parent Information: We have been informed of the safeguarding concerns below and want to draw your attention to them: There have been incidents locally of children being contacted by adults unknown to them via Snapchat and an online platform called Omegle. There has also been a concern raised about a hack on the game Roblox. It appears that players are invited to open a gift which is a camera. This then takes a photo which is shared with other users. Our advice will always be to have open and honest conversations with your child about what they are accessing on their mobile or other devices, and assert your parental control over usage and routines to ensure children are not vulnerable. If you have concerns regarding your child’s social media use, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.

Humphry Davy School 2 Jun 2020 Humphry Davy School- Free School Meal Provision (COLLECTION DATE: THURSDAY 4th JUNE– 10.00 am – 11.30 am) If your child usually receives free school meals we will be continuing to provide meal packs to cover the next two weeks. One parent will need to collect a care package that will last 10 days. The distribution point will be located in the new Staff Car Park between 10am and 11.30am. If you are unable to collect your package, we would be grateful if you could nominate someone to collect it on your behalf. If this is not possible, please contact the school by emailing enquiries@humphry-davy.cornwall.sch.uk.
