Humphry Davy School is a comprehensive school in Penzance, Cornwall, England. The school teaches 11- to 16-year-olds. Humphry Davy school is located just outside Penzance town centre on Coombe Road, and backs onto Penwith College. The school website states: '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 Gifted and Talented.'〔()〕 Key highlights quoted from the most recent Ofsted report include,:〔(),.〕 * ''Staff at all levels share a strong commitment to raising standards.'' * ''Transition arrangements for when students join or leave the school are excellent.'' * ''The school has worked successfully to ensure the most capable students gain the highest grade GCSE passes.'' * ''High expectations and a focus on matching activities closely to students’ individual needs ensure that learning and progress in lessons are good.'' * ''Students behave well and they are enthusiastic ambassadors for their school.'' * ''Parents and carers hold overwhelmingly positive views about the school’s work. They are particularly pleased with how well the school keeps children safe and the good quality of teaching.'' ==History== The oldest part of the main school building was completed in 1909. It was originally called the Penzance County School and opened with an enrolment of 130 boys on 24 January 1910. It later became known as the Humphry Davy Grammar School for Boys until 1980 when it became a co-educational comprehensive school with the name Humphry Davy School. Much of the beauty of the original building has been preserved and, in the summer of 2013, the school received funding worth over £300,000 which was invested in renovations that saw each of the sash windows replaced with handmade modern versions that have sympathetically enhanced the historic building and increased its energy efficiency. Princess Anne visited the school on 22 January 1999 to open the 'Chynoweth' block and took time to tour the newly built maths rooms, science labs, drama hall and specially designed art studios. In 2005 it gained specialist status, as a Music College. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humphry Davy School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
