Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Monday 18th July 2022

With the onset of some very warm weather, Year 10 are starting their work experience period. I am incredibly grateful to all of the employers that have taken on students in these difficult times as it is such an important window for our students to see the world of work outside of the education environment.

Some of our Year 10 students are in Berlin this week on a History tour, they are looking at the Second World War and will take time to visit some of the key landmarks from the time.

Last week saw the return of our School Production, the staff and students put on a fantastic performance of Animal Farm (The Musical) which was written by our own Mr Rinaldi and Mr Hardcastle, not only did a large number of students act and sing, the school orchestra played the score live alongside.  It really was a fantastic production showcasing our amazingly talented students.

The musicians also played a Concert on The Field before the performance which was well attended by parents and friends of the school enjoying the sunshine and a picnic listening to some amazing music.

Nest week sees our activities week back again, with students gearing up for trips to Paris, Normandy and closer to home trips such as karting, sailing, kayaking as well as Bushcraft for Year 7 and the ubiquitous trip to  Pleasurewood Hills.

It has been an incredibly busy term as the world has reopened and if you haven’t seen it yet please do have a look at the latest edition of ASPIRE to see what the students have been up to.

I wish everyone a lovely and peaceful summer and for our students a well-earned break and we look forward to seeing everyone back in September.

With warmest wishes
