The summer term brings longer day’s and warmer weather and with that, people have been crying out for a bit of live music, which Humphry Davy School students were more than happy to supply at this year’s Summer Festival!

More than 70 students across ten different musical ensembles set up on the school field to deliver a much-needed dose of musical enrichment to a socially distanced audience of parents, staff and fellow students. A massive 50 square meter stage was erected to house each of the school bands, from the ‘New Notes Jazz Band’ to ‘HDS Classical Guitar Ensemble’ and from the ‘Impact Choir’ through to our senior band ‘Band of Fiasco’.  Each of our groups showcased all the hours and hard work that had gone on behind the scenes this term. 

The evening was full of festival vibes and was an absolute delight for all who attended.  Some lovely feedback was shared from the audience members, such as “Just the tonic we all need after the year we have had” and “…your school makes me want to go back to school!”

We were absolutely delighted to have been able to host a range of different outside events this term and to hear such kind words from our community certainly put a smile on everyone’s faces here at HDS.
