Welcome

We are a voluntary charitable organisation who exist to enhance the facilities and opportunities of the children who attend Debenham High School.  We are a group of parents who enjoy our time at the heart of this lovely school community.  We strive to bring the school, families and the local community together for the benefit of all.  We meet 4-5 times a year (in person and via Teams) to organise a number of fundraising events.  

"The Friends of Debenham High School" is a Registered Charity No 1019030.

 We're members of the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations (NCPTA).  This is our NCPTA Model Constitution.

Our FUNDRAISING

We are currently fundraising to support the school to purchase a new mini bus.  This will help hundreds of students to attend county-wide sporting events, showcase their music skills nationally, be able to represent the school in both academic and sporting team events and facilitate learning beyond the classroom.  Below are ways you can support us to achieve this :

PRE-LOVED UNIFORM

  • We are so excited to announce the launch of our ONLINE pre-loved uniform store!  As our school community reaches far beyond the boundaries of our local village we wanted to provide a more accessible, convenient and inclusive approach to our nearly new uniform shop.  
  • Not only are you buying quality pre-loved school uniform, you are also helping us to raise funds for your school (and every piece of uniform re-used means one less item going to landfil!). https://jotform.com/app/friends_of_debenham_high_school/recycled-uniform-store       or use the QR code below.
  • We are using a free app and can only accept 10 payments a month. Once this limit is reached the form is disabled.  Please then email us with any requests and we will do our best to assist you.
  • As a school we have a strong recycling culture and to keep the shop well stocked, we would be very grateful for more good quality donations.  Please drop any items of uniform that are in a good usable condition and which may be of use to someone else to the front office at school and the Friends of Debenham will collect and prepare the items to add to our online shop.
  • The second-hand shop would not function successfully without your support and it is very much appreciated. If we can be of any assistance please contact us on friends@debenhamhigh.co.uk.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

We are proud of our achievements which would not have been possible without the help and participation of many of our school pupils, parents, carers, teachers and friends and the generosity of local businesses.  We have listed a few recent achievements and are delighted to have recently donated £7,500 to the school towards the purchase of a new mini bus.
