Humphry Davy School 30 Oct 2025 Once again, our Time2Move holiday programme was hugely popular. With over 60 children from reception class upwards in attendance, the school site was buzzing. With football, archery, laser tag, nerf games, basketball, dodge ball, badminton, cycling, karaoke, arts and crafts and table tennis to choose from, everyone had a lot of fun! It was wonderful to see so many happy, smiling faces! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, and we look forward to seeing you at our next holiday programme in February. Thanks go to Plymouth Argyle Community Trust, DT Coaching, Bikeability and our amazing HDS staff for making this week such a success! Enjoy the rest of the half term break!

Humphry Davy School 21 Oct 2025 Our new Year 7 cohort has settled in wonderfully during their first half term with us! They’ve truly embraced life at HDS — joining clubs, diving into their learning with enthusiasm, and even performing in their very first concert on our stage. Next on their list is camp, taking place after half term, and we can’t wait to see the many adventures that await them. Well done, Year 7, for settling in so smoothly and for being an inspiration to Year 6 students currently choosing their secondary school. Don’t forget — the deadline for applications is Friday 31st October. Be sure to secure your child’s place at HDS today!

Humphry Davy School 21 Oct 2025 A big well done to student, Charlie, who had an incredible evening at the Penzance Sailing Club prize giving last weekend! Charlie was awarded three trophies for the Thursday Series, Combined Series, and the prestigious Youth Sailor of the Year Award — recognising not only his impressive sailing achievements, but also his commitment to helping at the club and supporting new trainees throughout the season. He also collected several further trophies in the cruiser sailing events — an outstanding accomplishment! Well done, Charlie. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and you should be too!

Humphry Davy School 20 Oct 2025 Our Year 7 Rugby team dominated in their second fixture of the year, scoring five tries! The students displayed great defensive effort and performed brilliantly as a team securing each try with confidence. Well done everyone, keep up the great work!

Humphry Davy School 17 Oct 2025 Our Year 9 art students have been inspired by the vibrant artistic heritage of St Ives — a town that played a pivotal role in shaping British modern art. Students have been exploring the lives and work of pioneering artists who transformed this coastal community into a centre for abstract and non-representational art. To bring this learning to life, we were thrilled to take every Year 9 student on a cultural trip to St Ives. At HDS, we believe that experiences beyond the classroom are essential to a well-rounded education, and this visit offered a fantastic opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the town’s artistic significance. Students took part in an engaging artist’s trail, discovering key figures and galleries that shaped the local art scene. They also visited the Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, followed by the internationally acclaimed Tate St Ives — both offering rich insights into the creative legacy of the area. We’re incredibly proud of how our students conducted themselves throughout the trip. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and respectful behaviour was noted by members of the public and gallery staff, who offered glowing compliments. It was a joy to see them so immersed in the experience, and we hope they came home eager to share what they learned.

Humphry Davy School 17 Oct 2025 In the spirit of spooky season, students from across all houses took part in a Pumpkin Carving House Competition! One representative from KS3 and KS4 in each house showcased their creativity, precision, and Halloween flair as they transformed ordinary pumpkins into eerie masterpieces. The competition was fierce — from ghoulish grins to intricate haunted scenes, each entry brought something unique to the table. Judges were especially impressed by the attention to detail and the imaginative designs that captured the Halloween spirit perfectly. A huge well done to all our talented carvers for their effort and house pride, and congratulations to our winners who truly made their pumpkins come alive (or undead!). It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, teamwork, and seasonal fun across the school. Well done to everyone who took part — you made it a frightfully fantastic event!

Humphry Davy School 16 Oct 2025 Huge congratulations to this year’s Music Scholars! It was a tough audition process, but your dedication and commitment shone through! A music-enriched year lies ahead of you! With amazing workshops and trips in the pipeline, we look forward to watching your talents grow. Well done everyone, you should be proud of your achievement...wear your scholars tie with pride!

Humphry Davy School 16 Oct 2025 The HDS Applied Arts faculty hosted a wonderful exhibition over the weekend at Richmond Chapel, Penzance. The exhibition celebrated the fantastic achievements of our 2024/25 GCSE cohort across their Fine Art, Textiles, Photography and 3D Design studies. It was a great opportunity for our alumni to showcase their hard work in a beautiful space within the creative community of Penzance. The artworks on display were a mixture of both portfolio and exam pieces, exploring a selection of themes, and really showing off our students unique styles and dedication to their practice. Also on display were a selection of sketchbooks; giving a fascinating insight into students' individual journeys and their creative process. We loved the exhibition and were so grateful to have the opportunity to show our local community the works of our amazing budding artists. A big thank you to Richmond Chapel for offering us this beautiful space.
