Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Monday 6 July 2020

It has been lovely to connect with students over the last few weeks, either Year 10 physically in the building, or other year groups through the Form Tutor calls home.

As well as working hard on online learning, teachers have been writing reports, in all subjects for Year 10 and by the tutors in other year groups. These will go home electronically in the week ahead. We hope that these will help students and their parents to reflect upon the many successes they have had this academic year, and where needed, how they might need to develop in the future.

As you may be aware, the government made clear last week the intention that all students should return to school full time in September. As you would expect, this is with some very detailed guidance and expectations which don't mean an exact return to life as normal. We are busy working through the implications of this and as soon as these plans have clear detail, we will share them with parents and carers. 

This week I would like to connect with the school community in one last Whole School Assembly for the year. This will be posted on Friday morning and whilst not a live broadcast, we hope that students and staff can enjoy this simultaneously, feeling part of our community. 

Staff are getting ever-more creative about the online learning and are using different mechanisms for securing their engagement and motivation. If you have any queries or difficulties with your child accessing the work, please do not hesitate to contact us using our office@debenhamhigh.co.uk email, which is monitored daily.


Staying safe

If you feel vulnerable in any way during this time please remember that we remain your pastoral team, even when working from home, so you can contact us if concerned. We will be on email less than before so we may take longer to respond than usual.

To help you further, please see the click here for a poster outlining where some additional support may come from.


Contacting us

Due to operating more limited staffing levels, under government guidance to work from home where possible, should you wish to contact us un the coming weeks we would ask that you do this via email rather than dropping in or calling us where possible. While this is not our usual stance, I hope that all will appreciate the need for these social distancing measures. The school emails below will be monitored throughout the school day. Please use the following:

General enquiries                                                      office@debenhamhigh.co.uk

To confirm your child’s attendance at this time         schooloffer@debenhamhigh.co.uk

Student work enquiries: Teacher emails – on the school website under the WORK tab.

 Thank you for your continued support of our young people and our work in these times.
