Humphry Davy School 11 Apr 2025 Our penultimate day on the slopes and what a day it’s been! All skiers and boarders made it to the top of the mountain, soaking up the beautiful sunshine and breathtaking views.

Humphry Davy School 9 Apr 2025 Yesterday, cold, crisp and glistening slopes greeted our skiers. By mid-morning the sun had made its way over the mountain and the snow conditions were perfect. It was great to see everyone progressing and having so much fun! Yesterday evening, the fun continued off slope with everyone enjoying an exhilarating luge run, followed by board games before bed. Today, we've seen everyone progress further. Well done everyone…a fantastic day, and we’re looking forward to the quiz tonight! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 7 Apr 2025 Day one on the slopes of Les Orres, as anticipated, has been packed full of action! Waking up to a beautiful bluebird morning, the conditions were perfect for our skiers and snowboarders. By lunchtime, the beginners had truly found their feet...the intermediates were becoming more adventurous...and the more experienced students were flying! After their evening meal, everyone still had the energy for some spectacular sledging. Amazing to see their determination and resilience. Well done everyone! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 6 Apr 2025 Our HDS 2025 ski trip is now well underway! Whilst it was a long journey, the coach and ferry travel went smoothly, and our students have been fantastic HDS ambassadors! Docking at Calais yesterday, the journey continued overnight, and today they enjoyed lunch by the side of a spectacular river en route. Arriving safely in Les Orres, they’ve had a jam packed afternoon! Quickly settling into their rooms, they received an orientation tour of the resort followed by boot/equipment fitting and, having just finished a fantastic meal, they are now snowballing in the evening sun! Everyone is looking forward to a good nights sleep before hitting the slopes in the morning. Check back tomorrow to see all the action from their first day! #HDSSki2025

Humphry Davy School 4 Apr 2025 Our latest newsletter is now available on our website. Have a great Easter everyone, see you all on Tuesday 22nd April! https://humphrydavy.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/document/April-2025.pdf?t=1743770706?ts=1743771129

Humphry Davy School 4 Apr 2025 ‘Beyond The Labels’ is a lunchtime group that has been run by local organisation RJ Working, at Humphry Davy School, since October 2024. The project introduces young people to Restorative Practice as a set of skills and a way of working together which supports leadership and teamwork. Youth Workers from the RJ Working team have supported students in Years 9, 10 and 11 to build a safe and supported space to make connections, and explore issues related to identity. The group celebrates the ways in which we are different, and also the ways in which we are same, by finding the threads that connect us. These sessions have included games and creative activities; looking at issues that are important to them and how to challenge stereotypes and overcome prejudice. The ‘Beyond The Labels’ group decided that they wanted to do something to share the values of their group with the wider community. The result is a beautiful mural that they designed and painted on our school grounds. The artwork is a stunning display of colour and natural shapes. Filled with words that are of great importance to us as a school, as well as a special someone who we hold very dear to our hearts. Our very own resident cat, Minstrel (who is still happily enjoying his retirement), has earned his place on the beautiful wall for all to see. It has been so lovely hearing all the comments of admiration and support as other students and staff move about the school throughout the day. The weather has certainly been on our side, with beautiful sunshine beaming down on our team as they transformed this blank canvas into their vision. Thank you RJ Working for helping their idea come to life and a big ‘well done’ to our students for creating such a stunning mural for our school community to enjoy for years to come. RJ Working

Humphry Davy School 3 Apr 2025 On Monday, we hosted our first ever trampoline event for local secondary schools. The amazing trampolines are a new addition to the PE department and have been a hugely popular afterschool club since we introduced them after Christmas. The competitors created their own 10-bounce routine and performed it in front of a panel of judges and fellow participants. The fantastic support and encouragement from everyone involved helped the performers showcase their routines with confidence and pride. The event was an outstanding success for all those who took part, there was a real sense of achievement and enjoyment. Due to its success, we are excited to announce that this will now be an annual event!

Humphry Davy School 1 Apr 2025 On Friday, HDS travelled to Truro Methodist Church for the annual Music for Youth Event. This year HDS took two new ensembles for their debut performances. The first was the new Penwith Jazz Orchestra project led by Mr Bosworth. HDS facilitated students from four other schools to come together and play some quality jazz music. The jazz band played a great set, with Miles Davis's, 'Milestones', being a real highlight. Also worth a mention were the fantastic solos from Tom, Jemima and George. The other new ensemble performing were, 'All the Young Dudes', - a brand new choir focusing on highlighting lower voices. ATYD made a real impression on the judges who spoke of the importance of giving these students a voice and outlet. Lastly, a music trip is not complete without a trademark performance from our Impact choir led by Miss Kleiman. Once again, the judges commented on the detail and vocal quality in the performance. Well done to all of our music students and the music team!

Humphry Davy School 31 Mar 2025 On Thursday a small group of enthusiastic Year 7 students took part in a live online comic masterclass with Hugh Raine of The Beano! Hugh discussed the secrets of comic book creation, including Beano's iconic Betty & the Yeti. He then talked the students through a Yeti ‘drawalong’ and how to create their own comic strip. Betty & Yeti involves humorous stories about rampaging yetis and frolicking flamingos! Hugh’s latest book has just been realised and our students are looking forward to borrowing it from the library soon. All students created fantastic yetis & comic strips and have been inspired to continue with their comic book creations. Well done everyone! If anyone else would like to watch the recording and get creative over the holidays, you can with this link: https://youtube.com/live/IWQmSjB5Mnc?feature=share

Humphry Davy School 27 Mar 2025 Year 10 GCSE Drama students had the opportunity to take part in a workshop at the Minack Theatre last Friday. The work was centred around Shakespeare's ‘The Tempest’ with emphasis on the various theatre practitioners that we have been exploring in class - Stanislavski, Brecht, Artaud and Berkoff. Associate Director, John Brolly, led a brilliant workshop with games and exercises to engage and challenge our students. Not only did our students have fun, they came away with lots of ideas to inspire them for their GCSE drama performances. It's fantastic to have such a valuable link with a professional theatre, and to be able to experience live theatre at such a stunning venue in our community. Thank you for having us.

Humphry Davy School 25 Mar 2025 On Thursday, our Year 7 boys competed in an indoor cricket competition at Truro where they played against three Cornish schools. There were some strong batting displays with Thomas hitting an amazing six! A notable team performance saw HDS score 97 runs in just 8 overs in one game. The bowling and fielding performances were definitely highlights as well, bowling all three teams out in each game. A shout out to Corey who took the most causal catch of the afternoon from close range, Ace with a superb one handed catch, Jamie and Will who displayed some exceptional run outs and, finally, Archie who performed some wonderful leg spin bowling! Considering some of the boys in the team had never played cricket before, they did a fantastic job! Well done guys!
