Humphry Davy School is a comprehensive school inPenzance,Cornwall, England. The school teaches 11 to 16-year-olds.
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.[1] It later became known as the Humphry Davy Grammar School for Boys.
It shared a canteen with the Penzance Girls Grammar School (PGGS), further up the hill, and, in the late 1970s, a joint upper sixth form block was added on the playing fields to the North East of the school, South West of PGGS. In 1980 it merged with PGGS and Lescudjack schools, becoming a co-educational comprehensive school, with the name Humphry Davy School.[2][3]
