Humphry Davy School 20 Jan 2025 What a fantastic way to end the week. On Friday, Year 8 students were treated to a performance from touring Czech pop artist THERA. Incredibly, at just 17, THERA has mustered the courage to let listeners into her personal world, pouring vulnerable and complex emotional details onto each track. As she says, “Expression through music can help a lot of people understand and get through many difficult situations”. Students heard her performing a beautiful intimate acoustic set and then had the opportunity for a photo and signed flyer. Follow her on @the_thera_

Humphry Davy School 16 Jan 2025 Yesterday saw the beginning of a very exciting music project at HDS. Our very own jazz saxophone expert Pete Truin has begun a saxophone course for some of our Year 7 students. We are confident that many of these students will feed into our already successful concert and wind bands. With fewer students learning the saxophone in our community we are certain that these sessions will provide a platform to celebrate the instrument and inspire the next generation of players. We look forward to hearing their progress during our spring term peripatetic concert. They will also get a slot on St Piran's Day and our Summer Concert in Penlee Park. How exciting!

Humphry Davy School 16 Jan 2025 Great to see our students getting involved! What fun!

Humphry Davy School 15 Jan 2025 Yesterday, students had the chance to explore their creative side during an inspiring floristry workshop led by the talented team from Duchy College Rosewarne. The hands-on session introduced students to the art of floral arrangement, teaching them techniques to create stunning bouquets and designs. Under expert guidance, participants worked with a variety of flowers and greenery, learning how to combine colours, textures, and shapes to produce professional-quality pieces. Students described the workshop as “fun,” “creative,” and “a great way to try something new.” One participant said, “I’ve always loved flowers, but this has given me confidence to think about it as a career.” A huge thank you to Duchy College for delivering such an engaging and inspiring workshop, and well done to all the students who took part—you’ve truly bloomed! We look forward to more creative opportunities like this in the future. Thank you for coming!

Well done to EVERYONE who took part in our house competition, it has been an absolute joy sharing your christmassy designs over the last 20 days.

Humphry Davy School 19 Dec 2024 Cornish sunsets are some of the best around and we feel this piece, created by Eva from Longya house, perfectly illustrates their beauty. Eva has captured a true sense of calm in this design - perfect conditions for Santa and his reindeer! 2nd place goes to you! Well done.

Humphry Davy School 16 Dec 2024 One of the best parts of December at HDS is the delivery of our Christmas tree! It brings so much festive cheer standing tall in reception for everyone to see – it is impossible to walk past and not comment on it’s beauty (or its gorgeous smell!). This year we were treated to a second tree which has joined students in our restaurant, the perfect addition for the build up to Christmas! Thank you to those who donated trees this year.
