Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Monday 27th June 2022

Last week saw yet more signs of life returning to normal at Debenham. In a very busy week, all of Year 8 went out on a Geography Field Trip to the coast, we had a whole school Sports Day and Yr.11 had their final examination then the Prom.

Our Year 10 Senior Prefects met with Dr Dan Poulter MP on Friday and asked him some challenging questions ranging from inflation to Ukraine and his favourite ice cream flavour! It was a great opportunity for our students to set questions to Dr Poulter as our local MP.

It was fantastic to have the whole school together for Sports Day as well as being able to welcome back parents to this event. Amongst the amazing sporting achievements with 14 school records set, it was lovely to see the way our students supported each other in their events and the students being a part of their house and wider school community so eagerly.

Year 11 finished their examinations last week, they did a fantastic job to keep going for the extended period and were rewarded with a fantastic event at the Prom on Thursday night.  As have all students, in the last three years they have had to cope with so much change and uncertainty but they have managed this admirably and developed such a broad and deep set of skills, qualities and characteristics which will serve them well in later life. As ever there is a bitter sweet moment as they leave us but I await to hear the great things they go on to do in their lives.

This week sees the return of the Sports Awards evening on Thursday, followed next week by the School Production of Animal Farm, if you haven’t yet bought your tickets please do, it promises to be a fantastic show with music on the field to start the evening off at 6pm.

With warmest wishes
