Welcome to Debenham High SchooL 

Message from the Headteacher

Tuesday 20th July 2021

In the last week of term we have finally managed to return to some semblance of normality. Year 7 went on their Bushcraft trip where they did activities such as Paddle boarding, Abseiling and Archery and Year 8 & 9 have an activity day and Year 10 their Enterprise Day. We are also running our Sports Day this week, which is great to be able to do again.  The students seem to have really enjoyed the opportunity to be together in a more relaxed setting.

I have written to parents about the start of term for next year but it is very likely we will test students before they return.  Year 7 will return on Friday 3rd September and all other year groups on Monday 6th September.

We have held our final whole school Assembly this week, which is available below for parents to see.  In this we look back at the year gone by and all of the good things we have managed to do and my thanks to Rev. Susan Bates and Rev. Tracey James for their blessing and prayers.

Within this Assembly, we also announced our new Head and Deputy Boy and Girl.  The successful candidates from a very strong field were:

Head Boy                     James Foreman

Deputy Head Boy        Ben Risby

Head Girl                     Sophie Coton

Deputy Head Girl        Megan Green

I finish off by wishing all students and their parents/carers a very happy summer break and some time with loved ones.

With Warmest Wishes

Simon Martin
Headteacher

God of all learning, life and love,

This has been a difficult year for so many people in so many ways; we pray that we can leave the difficult things with you as we start our summer holidays.

We thank you for all the good things that have happened; for our school, the staff and especially all the pupils. We thank you that you love and care for each one of us.

We pray that we will have rest and fun this summer, that all will be safe and well, and that we can look forward with hope and excitement to the new academic year.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

May the God of hope bless you with joy;
May the God of love bless you with good friendships;
May the God of faith bless you with knowledge of God’s presence;
And the blessing of God almighty,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
be with you and all those you love
in time and eternity. Amen.

A welcome to Debenham High School for Prospective Parents from the Headteacher
