This year’s summer production was a compilation of three classic ‘Grimms’ Tales’, Little Red Cap, Hansel and Gretel and Rumplestiltskin. Our students were gifted with beautiful sunshine meaning their play could go ahead on the field as planned.
It was fantastic to see the students in their element as they showed off the fantastic play they have been rehearsing tirelessly. The dedication, time, effort and talents of our young people really shone through, enabling us to bring this show to life, a huge ‘well done’ to everyone involved!

The HDS ‘Class of 2022’ gathered at Tregenna Castle last week, where they celebrated in style with an ‘under the sea’ theme to mark the completion of their five years of secondary education with us.
Despite the weather, with the clouds deciding to open up just as our graduates began arriving, everyone had a smile on their face as they showed off their beautiful dresses and smartest suits, ready to enjoy a night of fine dining and fun.
We wish you all the best of luck with your future endeavours and couldn’t be prouder of the young adults you have become. We look forward to seeing you again on Thursday 25th August for Results Day.
More photos can be found on our website!

Humphry Davy School's choir had a fantastic time performing at the Minack Theatre last week in the Cornwall School's production of 'One Small Bird' - a song cycle inspired by the RSPB’s 2014 discovery of the migratory route of one of Britain’s rarest birds, the red-necked phalarope.
The Red-necked Phalarope is a tiny creature. Weighing no more than a packet of crisps, it successfully crosses the Atlantic between Shetland and Peru every year, passing through environments as diverse and challenging as the icy regions of the north and the storms of the Caribbean.
This little bird’s journey tells an inspiring story about strength and resilience in the face of harsh conditions, and of the unstoppable drive for survival among earth’s creatures.
One Small Bird has been performed by young people and community groups across Britain and we are thrilled have been a part of this production.

Last week, HDS students competed in the Cornwall School Team Showjumping Competition and we were delighted when Rosie (year 9) and Mr Pickles won the individual 60-65 cm class against 40 other competitors.
Rosie did exceptionally well, showing great determination having nearly stopped jumping altogether after a bad fall two years ago. Florence (year 7) on Skye also jumped a clear round.
Nina and Kacey (both year 9) also made a great effort but, with Kacey's horse Jasper spooked by the wind and rain, and Nina riding a friends horse Otis, which she had only jumped twice before, they were unfortunately eliminated.
All four girls had fun despite the horrendous weather and it was great to see them out competing with the support of their family and friends.
Well done girls!

Last week, with the sun shining brightly, we were delighted to plant a commemorative tree to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Our Jubilee dancers, having just returned from a filming session in Morrab Gardens, assisted Headteacher, Mr Marshall, with the planting.
We look forward to watching the beautiful tree grow with our students over the coming years…and we are very much looking forward to being accompanied by our dancers at Mazey Day tomorrow.
Be sure to join us for the 11am and 3pm parades! We’ll be sending out updates throughout the day!
