Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Monday 22 May 2017

Our thoughts and prayer go to the family and communities of those in Manchester.

It will be a sad farewell to our Year 11 students on Friday as they take a moment to look back over the last five years in their final leavers assembly.  After a 2¼ English GCSE Examination in the morning they will have deserved a break as after their assembly they head out for their last school trip in celebration of their time with us. This year group will have a certain poignancy for me as they joined Year 7 as I arrived at Debenham High School.

Congratulations last week to Harvey Mills and Sinead Lynch. Harvey and Sinead fought it out in one of the most competitive aspects of the school year, the Darts Tournament! Harvey pipped Sinead to the 2017 title, both beating a few teachers and many other students along the way.

I wish all our readers a restful half-term, which seems to have come upon us at a brace of shakes.  For Year 11 there will be opportunity for revision sessions in school on Tuesday with Mathematics on Wednesday with Biology and Friday with Business Studies.

When we return after the May break there is much to look forward to with the Bard in the Barn, our summer music and drama, The Tempest at Crow’s Hall, our Summer Awards evening, our Annual Sports Awards, Sports Day and much much more.  Keep your eyes peeled for what is happening or look at our school calendar to plan ahead.

For now, have a wonderful break.
