Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Monday 26th June 2017

Year 11 breathed a big sigh of relief as they finished their examinations last week, ending with the most challenging Science papers.  I look forward to seeing them all at their Prom at Thornham Coach House on Thursday evening, where they can celebrate in style what a fabulous year group they have been.  If you missed our farewell video please click here.

It is the turn of Year 7 this week as they head out on their Geography fieldtrips. They will be exploring different sections of the River Gipping including near its source as well as the final stages as it reaches Ipswich.

Of course the highlight of this week is likely to be Sports Day on Wednesday. Please remember that parents, carers, family and friends are welcome throughout the day. The full schedule of events is listed here, please allow enough time either side of the event if you wish to catch something particular. Whilst we run mostly to time, we can on occasion have to adjust the order of the day to suit to weather conditions and are unable to send updates to parents about this. Remember that if you wish to enjoy a BBQ lunch as a parent, it will be available from the school canteen, to include hot dog, homemade beef burger, chicken fillet sandwich (£1.40 each), chips (95p) along with other homemade options  (cash will be taken on the day for parents).  Events will then resume at 1.40pm until 3.30pm.

Finally, keep a note in the diary for Friday 7 and Saturday 8 July, to join us for music and the Bard in the barn at Crow’s Hall. We also look forward to welcoming parents and guests to our Art, Design and Technology Exhibition and Summer Celebration evening on Thursday 6 July. Please keep your eye on emails about all events and activities in the coming week.
