Humphry Davy School has a long-standing well-deserved reputation for its caring approach and an ethos which encourages, supports and develops students of all abilities – from those with specific learning difficulties right through to the most able, gifted and talented.
We are a Co-operative Trust School and a member of the Penwith Educational Trust (PET). Our Vision statement encapsulates what our school is about. It provides a clear direction for the school whilst reminding us of our core values when decision-making. Success comes from never lowering our high expectations and ensuring everyone shares our core values in each and every moment of every day. This is only achievable by working in partnership with our parents as it is together that we enable our students to flourish into what they each have the potential to be.
The contribution of the local community is very important to us all and as a school, we are always interested in the views of our parents and the local community. We are committed to ensuring our school is a valued part of the Penzance community and continues to provide the highest educational standards of which we can all be proud.
