Humphry Davy School 3 May 2024 A big moment yesterday at lunchtime as the Year 11 Band and 'The Band of Fiasco' played their last ever Performance on the Plinth lunchtime gig. Despite their busy revision and coursework schedule they continue to rehearse and perform at school events and local functions. Under the expert guidance of Mr Bosworth both bands put on a fantastic show including an amazing OutKast Medley.

Humphry Davy School 2 May 2024 The English Faculty have recently run two amazing events! At the start of term, 28 Year 7 students were invited to the Kurt Jackson Foundation in St Just to work on a blackout poetry project using the new art collection as inspiration. The art was incredible and as a result some excellent poetry was created. Look out for a display board soon! Well done Year 7! We also had the amazing Jess Farr-Cox, a Bristol University lecturer, come down to give a series of degree level Literature lectures to classes in Years 9,10 and 11! These were an excellent look into what learning at university is like and we are very grateful to both Jess and the University for offering this opportunity as part of their outreach programme.
