It has been a great pleasure to welcome all staff and students back to a new and
exciting school year after the long summer break. And what a successful summer it has
been for the students, staff and school! Our exam results are the best ever and I want to
start by sharing a brief outline of those with you here:
A Level:
Students achieved a 98% A - E pass rate;
23 out of 24 subjects achieved 100% A - E grade pass rate;
50% of the students obtained A / B passes in their subjects; Students achieved 100% A - C pass rate in 13 subjects;
Students achieved 100% A - B pass rate in 6 subjects.
We were also extremely proud of the following students:
Laurence Hookway and Helen Finegan achieved 4 A grades;
Nicola Butcher, Eleanor Dunn, Hannah Rowe and Rosie Pearce achieved 3 A
grades.
At GCSE:
59% of 160 students achieved 5+ A*-C grades a 3% rise on our adjusted figure of
56% from last year;
The number of students achieving 5+ A*-C grades with English and Maths is 48%: a20% rise on last years results.
There were some exceptional results from the following students:
Claire Downs and Emily Rowe 11 A*/A grades each;
Alex Leigh-Pearson 10 A*/A grades;
Hannah Butcher and Aline Porteous 9 A*/A grades each;
William Tink 8 A* grades.
We are also incredibly proud that 99% of students achieved at least one A*-G grade
and 94% of students achieved at least 5 or more A*-G grades. Deben High School has a
fully comprehensive intake and is proud of the achievements of all of our students.
At Key Stage 3:
Teacher Assessment results for the core subjects:
English L5+ (83%) and L6+ (42%)
Maths L5+ (79%) and L6+ (57%)
Science L5+ (83%) and L6+ (44%)
These results show rises in the numbers of students achieving at higher levels.
My congratulations to all students and staff (and at Orwell who taught some of our
students) who have excelled themselves this year! More detailed results for A Level and
GCSE can be found in the Enjoy and Achieve section.

The 3 Ps
This academic year we are to focus on the 3 Ps to continue to improve aspirations and
achievement:
Pride focuses on the new uniform, improving the school building and increasing student
responsibility around school and in the community;
Progress focuses on helping students and their parents/carers on understanding their
targets and how to get there throughout the year. We start with Target Setting Day
(formerly Tutor Review Day) in October and parents/carers will now receive 5 progress
reports throughout the year instead of just the one. More details to follow;
Performance is there to ensure that we focus not only on the aspirations and
achievements of students and staff, but also that we create the best climate for that to
happen in school. We will do a great deal of work this year on continuing to ensure the
hard work we have started so far on improving mental and physical well-being carries
on.

Competitors from all year groups took part in field and track events during the
morning with the track finals taking place in the afternoon. Students competedin a range of events that included 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and relays. They
were enthusiastically cheered on by their fellow students as they raced to earn
points for their House team. The glorious sunshine was almost as scorching as
some of the performances.
School records were smashed throughout the afternoon. Ben Parker ran a
record time of 5 minutes 18 seconds in the Year 7 1500m race. The blistering
pace of Chris Franks in the 800m Year 8 challenge saw him cross the finishing
line in 2 minutes 30.85 seconds. He broke the previous school record of 2
minutes 31.01 seconds which has been held by R. Baker since 1977.
Performance of the day went to Year 10 student Rhys Hinton-Smith. Rhysknocked six seconds off the 800m school record finishing in a remarkable 2
minutes 11 seconds, and he shattered the 1500m record by 21 seconds when
he raced over the line in 4 minutes 41 seconds.
The winning House, Turner, was awarded the Sports Day Trophy by special guest
ex-Olympian, Mr Stan Cox. Last year the BBC Inside Out team made a
programme as a tribute and celebration of his achievements. Part of the
filming for the programme took place with Deben students. Mr Cox ran the 10K
in the 1948 Olympics and was the worlds top marathon runner in 1952 HelsinkiOlympics in 2 hours 18 minutes, and we were delighted that he was able to join
us on the day.
The Sports Day Trophy has a very special association with the school.
Mr Gildersleeves and his late wife were both students at Deben over 60 years
ago and he kindly donated the trophy to the school in his wifes memory.
Unfortunately Mr Gildersleeves was unable to attend this year, but sincerethanks go to him for his continued support for the school.
Well done to everyone who took part!

The best learners in the world walk through our doors.
On 6th July normal timetables were suspended for the whole
week as students engaged in a range of exciting activities
and workshops, both on and off site, as part of this years
ArtsWeek.
An event of this scale takes an enormous amount of
planning and organisation and this all began back inAutumn Term 2008. More than 35 different pathways of
activity were made available for students to choose from,
and we were really pleased with the diversity of the
pathways we were able to offer. These included dance
and musical theatre, forensic science, fashion, song-writing,
the circus, sculpture, sport and media to name but a few!
Some students also had the opportunity to go on residential
trips for the week. Members of the Deben Strings and
Deben Jazz Band went to the Isle of Wight, whilst students
who enjoy all aspects of sport and fitness enjoyed a
challenging PGL multi-activity week in North Devon.
We aim to provide stimulating and exciting opportunities
both inside and outside the structure of the curriculum. An
event such as this provides students with the chance to
engage, and develop their skills and knowledge, in an area
they particularly enjoy, or to try and experience something
completely different.
Throughout the week the fun and enjoyment was a pleasure
to see. Every area of the school was buzzing with activity.
Stress-Busters offered hand massages, aspiring models
strutted their stuff on the catwalk, speed skaters raced
around the sports hall, sculptures were created, and songs
were written.
And to top it all the media team captured it all
through producing a radio and TV programme and
compiling two ArtsWeek Newspapers.
For more information about ArtsWeek look on the
school website www.deben.suffolk.sch.uk

The best learners in the world walk through our doors.
A selection of students aged 15-19 years old from
Deben High School spent two weeks in the
Summer Term working at University Campus
Suffolk through an Escalators Futures project.
Their main tutor over the two weeks was a
director from the renowned Gecko TheatreCompany but the students also worked with a
variety of professional artists and choreographers.
As part of the project they also spent an industry
day at the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich learningabout back stage roles and marketing and had
an opportunity to meet the Wolsey Theatre team.
They also created a piece of music which they
recorded in a professional recording studio in
Ipswich.
As a culmination of the project the students
performed their production at Sudbury Upper
High School and here at Deben to an invitedaudience of parents and guests as an
appropriate end to the highly successful
ArtsWeek.
Adam Flatman, Head Boy, was one of the
performers and Lucy Bingham, Head Girl, has
documented the entire event as part of a
photography project.

Please keep sending in old phones. You may have at least one old mobile
phone that you could donate or ask at your workplace for colleagues to
donate to the school. Pupils can either donate the phones direct to the schoolor choose some fantastic prizes for helping with the campaign. The more
phones the bigger the prize. In addition the school will be provided with
educational resources and a cash prize.

From this September Religious Studies will
change its name to Philosophy and Ethics. The
name change will appear on student and staff
timetables. The reason behind the change is to
reflect the more enquiring aspect of this
subject. It is also to reflect the change in
primary school teaching. Philosophy is now
taught in our feeder primary schools and is also
a subject that is offered at A level at Deben
High School. Therefore it makes sense to have one half of Philosophy from
primary school to sixth form.Mr Stares_____________________________________________________________________________
Parents please note that school shoes are not available from a sports shop such
as JJB. These shops sell leather look trainers which are not school shoes. School
shoes should be obtained from a shoe shop or the shoe department within
large stores.Mrs Baker
