Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

 

Message from the Headteacher


Monday 14th October 2024
 

This last week has been a busy one with lots of events in school and beyond. Last week we took our students to St. Mary’s Church to take part in a Harvest Festival where students also brought donations for the Waveney Food Bank to add to the collection already in the church.

We welcomed a large number of families to visit the school as part of our Open Evening last week. If you were unable to attend and would like to look around the school please ring the school to arrange a tour.

This week we have had a visit from a Ugandan Choir from the Kampala Children’s Centre, this is a group of Orphaned Children who perform in schools and other venues to raise awareness of the issues surrounding them in Uganda. It was lovely to see our Year 9 students (all of them) performing an African Dance in the school hall.  We will take opportunities later in the year to raise money for this group.  More details can be found on https://www.destinyafrica.org/ 

Our students have also had the opportunity this week to take part in a Foreign Languages subtitling workshop.  This is an opportunity which is run to help students develop their language skills but also to understand the role of languages beyond school.

We hold our Year 6 Liaison Morning on Friday where students who are considering coming to Debenham come to see the school and get a taste of what High School is like. This is the first of three such events throughout the year to help students with the transition to High School.

Warmest Wishes

 SCHOOL VISION

 

Debenham High School aims to nurture excellence and integrity in all members of our community. 

Debenham High is a place of learning and personal development for all. We aim to develop students to enable them to take their place in society as happy, successful and resilient people who act with integrity, purpose and love. Students develop a curiosity about the world around them and a desire to learn. All students regardless of background and ability will be exposed to the very best so that they are able to understand and aspire to excellence; they should see this excellence both in school and beyond in the academic and cultural world. We hold  that all people are made in the image of God and as such we encourage students to develop a respect for and tolerance of others - regardless of differences of race, disability, sexuality, gender, culture or religion.  

As well as learning about other faiths and world views  our students develop an understanding of the Christian Faith and act in a way which demonstrates the key attributes of love, joy, peace, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self -control. The whole school community is encouraged to live by Jesus’ teaching to love our neighbour and to “Treat others as you wish to be treated”

Students will leave Debenham, with excellent academic qualifications, a love and curiosity for knowledge, resilient and ready to succeed in and contribute to an ever changing world, having developed a moral strength, compassion and understanding of others.

Growing together in Character, Wisdom and Compassion.
