It was a pleasure to take part in this year’s St Piran’s Day parade. The streets of Penzance were filled with a sea of black and white as the community came together to celebrate Cornish heritage and pride.
A huge well done to all of our musicians who took part. Days like this are a wonderful reminder of the strength of our community and the importance of celebrating Cornwall’s unique culture.

HDS students were invited by Cornwall Hospitality Collective to form ‘The Collective Café’ at Mousehole Deli & Kitchen last week. A small group of Year 9 students had the opportunity to take part in this unique experience, spending four days planning a menu, trialling dishes and, on the final day, taking over Mousehole Deli & Kitchen to serve their creations to the public.
All of the students were exemplary in their attitude, work ethic and representation of HDS. The day was a great success, with many happy and satisfied customers.
A big thank you to everyone involved, it was a pleasure to work with you.

Our musical, Bugsy Malone, may be officially done and dusted, but we’re still thinking about it here at HDS. We just can’t stop reminiscing about what a fantastic show it was!
We are beyond proud of our amazing students, who absolutely lit up the stage. Your energy, talent and confidence transported us straight to the 1920’s and had the audience hooked from start to finish. You truly commanded the stage.
With so many unforgettable moments, choosing our favourite photos was no easy task, so here’s just a snapshot of the magic! You can find even more images, plus a fantastic behind the scenes video, over on our website.

Yesterday, we hosted a wonderful BIG SING event to prepare young people in our community for the upcoming St Piran's Day celebrations. A lovely afternoon of singing led by Christine Judge. All the singing about Cornish pasties and Cornish heritage meant the children left HDS beaming with pride for their community - but also rather hungry!

After months of rehearsals, HDS was proud to bring Bugsy Malone to the stage at The Ritz, Penzance, just before half term.
What began as early script readings and tentative dance steps gradually transformed into a confident, energetic production that truly showcased the talent and commitment of our students. We were thrilled to share a special matinee with local primary pupils, followed by two fantastic evening shows. All met with huge applause!
A big shout out to our incredible live band of students, staff and alumni who brought the music to life and to everyone backstage who made the magic happen.
We are so proud of every single performer. What a show! We can’t wait to see what next year brings!

The Year 10 football team were in action just before half term in what proved to be a very close and exciting match. Both sides produced some excellent attacking play throughout. As the game played on, the team’s persistence and determination began to show. Their continued pressure eventually paid off, with two well-worked goals scored late in the match to secure a well-deserved victory.
It was a strong performance, marked by teamwork, resilience, and a willingness to keep pushing until the final whistle. Well done to all involved, it was an impressive display.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.

HDS secured their place in the next round of the Year 9 football cup with a strong 5–2 victory.
The opposition took an early lead, but HDS responded superbly, showing resilience, strong defending and effective direct football. This approach paid off as three goals before half-time gave HDS a deserved 3–1 lead at the break.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with HDS continuing to apply pressure. A well-struck long-range effort and a confidently taken free kick extended the lead to 5–1. The boys were not shaken by a late consolation goal from the opposition, remaining organised to see the game out.
A solid team performance ensured a 5–2 win and progression to the next round of the cup. What a fantastic game!

The Year 7 boys’ football team played in a very spirited 2–2 draw. They went into half-time 1–0 down but started the second half strongly, with a fantastic strike from team captain Sam. The team played some great football on a tough surface and worked together brilliantly. Well done!

The Year 7 girls’ hockey team delivered a strong and determined performance at their recent tournament, finishing with three wins, one draw, and three losses. The team showed great resilience and teamwork throughout the matches. Special mention goes to Florence, who led superbly as captain, and Chelsea, whose consistent and reliable defending played a key role in the team’s performance. Well done to all involved for their commitment and effort.

A huge WELL DONE to all of the cricket teams who have represented HDS in the recent Indoor Cricket Tournaments! You have competed brilliantly, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results you’ve achieved.
Every single one of you threw yourselves into the sport, and the team spirit on display was outstanding. At HDS, we’re all about ‘getting involved’ and you absolutely delivered! Whether this was a brand-new sport or you were back for another season as a dedicated team member, your commitment and enthusiasm shone through.
Special shout-outs to our Year 8 and U15 teams for returning for another competitive season, and a massive congratulations to both the Year 7 Girls and Year 7 Boys on making their first-ever finals appearance!
Best of luck to all four of our teams heading into the finals. Go HDS!
