Students have already been introduced to ‘learning how to learn’ methods through the
Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills, De Bono’s 6 Hats and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Many of
the posters now appearing in classrooms have appeared in previous issues of Deben
News this year and are included again in this issue.
I am extremely proud of all of the staff, students and external agencies who have
contributed to Deben achieving this milestone, particularly Ms Berry, Mrs Flint, Mr Ewers,
Mr James, Mrs Pearson and Jan McGuire from Suffolk LA. This award will help us further
achieve the Every Child Matters agenda which is recorded through every edition of the

Can I please remind students and parents/carers that making and/or receiving calls
or text messages during lesson or tutor time is not permitted. Students are allowed to
bring mobile phones to school but these must be switched off during lesson and tutor
time and can only be used outside the school building, preferably on the back field.
Students must not use mobile phones in the Lower School Hall (LSH) at breaktime or
lunchtime and must not use them in the corridors. Staff have been asked to confiscate
mobile phones if these rules are breached and the phone will only be returned to a

daughter then please do so through the school office so that we are aware of what is
going on and can be of help to offer our professional advice, care and support in such
circumstances.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the parents/carers who continue to support us
in ensuring that our students, your sons/daughters, are properly equipped for school
in terms of uniform and other necessary resources to ensure that they are ready and
prepared for our primary aim which is LEARNING. Standards continue to rise and we
want to maintain a consistent approach so that students, parents/carers and staff know
exactly what is expected.
The latest trend for the girls is to wear cardigans, in a variety of colours (black, grey,
white etc), which are not part of our uniform, whilst walking around with blazers either in
their handbags or draped over their arms. We have a very clear policy on uniform and
therefore cardigans are not to be worn.
I am also still concerned that a very small minority of students believe that the rules and
high expectations of behaviour and of learning do not apply to them. I can assure you
that our aim is to ensure that Deben is a safe and secure place for everyone who works
here. Those who choose to try to stop us in achieving this should be under no illusions
that this will not be tolerated and there will be consequences for inappropriate actions.
This approach applies equally in our local community.
I am aware that some parents/carers have genuine concerns relating to the fact that
we have one or two members of staff on long term sick leave and the consequences
this has for students in their classes. We have a number of full time cover assistants in
school who are strategically deployed to minimise the impact of long term teacher
absence. We have also found well qualified, and where possible, subject specific staff
to cover in these areas. Our own staff, in these departments, do set work which is linked
to the schemes of work where possible and heads of department and/or curriculum
leaders are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that students in these classes are
not unduly disadvantaged. To help resolve this, I will be looking into the issue of staff
wearing identification badges, so that when and where we do need to bring in extra
staff, students will know who is teaching them.
I very much hope that you see this as a partnership and that we can work together for
the best interest of everyone who works and learns here at Deben. I hope that I can

Some funding is available to help support children and young people to access more
activities outside the normal school hours where economic or social circumstance has
prevented them from doing so.
It also aims to provide greater leisure and activity opportunities for Looked After
Children.
We know that children do better at school and within social peer groups if they can join
regular organised activities after school or at weekends. These activities give children
an opportunity to practise a sport, learn a new craft or skill, develop social skills or simply
build confidence by having fun with other children.
One way that we can use this funding is to offer support to families who might need a
little additional help to fund out of hours activities for their child.
If you feel you meet the criteria and would like to take up this offer for your child,
application forms are available from school reception. Please complete and return
your completed application form in a sealed envelope marked for the attention of Mrs
Flint, School Business Manager, as soon as possible.
Mrs Flint
At the interval Andrew Stanhope, Logistics Director of long term sponsor Jutexpo
confirmed their previous four years partnership with the club by presenting a cheque
for £700 towards costs of staging next seasons home league matches at Brackenbury
Sports Centre.
The hectic day continued with fast and furious competition involving over 60 players
observed by a large crowd of spectators helping to celebrate the club’s achievements.
Plaudits also go to Andrew Wildesmith and his Leiston Lynx club for contributing to what
turned out to be a shining example of sport in the community. All the games were
played in a spirit of fair play and friendship which made the game scores irrelevant.
In addition to the support shown by the sponsors and the County Council, further thanks
must go to the staff and management of the Brackenbury Sports Centre for their
continued provision of their excellent facilities.
The club’s long standing link with Deben High School continues by courtesy of
Headteacher Mr Cawley and Head of PE Mr Ewers. As well as overseeing after school
basketball it also provides coaches and management to
the school’s basketball teams competing in the Ipswich
and South Suffolk Competitions. With the club now able
to offer progressive transition and outlets for Under 11
through to adults all bodes well for the future of
basketball in Felixstowe hopefully for years to come.

Trampolining
On Monday 10th May we entered the U14 SSP Trampolining Competition. The girls were
very nervous as they had not competed in Schools Trampolining before and it is very
scary to complete a 10 bounce routine in front of a set of judges. They were again a
credit to the school in both the manner that they competed and the standard they
showed. They had to complete two routines and everyone improved their scores in the
second rounds once they had got over their nerves. Special mention has to go to
Sophie Clarke who scored 10.5 out of a possible 10.8 in her second routine which was
the highest score of the Under 14s. They were so good
the A team was selected to represent the area at the
County Final on 19th May at Stowmarket which is a great

Youth Interactive (CYAG) recently resulted
in members of the School Council proudly
handing over a cheque for £2,667 to Youth
Interactive representatives Natalie White
and Nathalie Gensac.
The students chose to support this charity because it was an opportunity to really make
a difference in the world. Working on the project has enabled them to gain a greater
understanding of global issues and, through organising fundraising events, to develop
skills and knowledge related to business and enterprise. They have also learnt the
importance of appreciating the every day things that we sometimes take for granted,
like schooling and education, family, friends, food, and water.

Please note that Year 11 students are required by law to attend school until the last
Friday in June so non-attendance at required lessons as per the Revision Timetable
constitutes truancy. As well as this attracting the attention of the Education Attendance
Officer, it could also affect your son/daughter’s achievement. Your son/daughter’s

them to come and see me.

If so they must have a Work Permit - this includes Year 11’s that have had their 16th

The hours that school children may work are regulated by Suffolk County Council
bye- laws.
• No child shall start work before 7am or work after 7pm on any day of the week.
• On a school day a child may work a maximum of 2 hours - either 1 hour between 7am
and 8.30am and 1 hour after school but before 7pm, or 2 hours after school.
If a child has below average school attendance or poor punctuality then a Work Permit
will not be issued. If a student’s attendance or punctuality falls a Work Permit may be
withdrawn.

parent alike! There were differing opinions as to whether this was a good thing or not.
Leading on from parental involvement (or lack of it!), Mrs Jewkes, a parent governor,
posed questions regarding how easy it is for parents to contact the school with a
problem. Members of the PFG came up with the various ways they communicate with
the school; via the telephone – we all commented on the excellent treatment we get
from the reception staff as first point of contact, always doing their best to link a parent
with the teacher concerned as soon as possible. Where time constraints make the
telephone system more difficult for parents at work, then the email is a viable alternative.
Writing in the school planner also works sometimes, if only to set up an initial meeting. It
was agreed that texts work well for general information and reminders. Some parents
commented that information about which teacher to contact could be clearer.
The Chairman of the governors, Mr Brennan, then invited parents to pose questions to
the governors. Mr Carpenter and Mrs Harland, as they were appointed by the local
authority, were asked what led them to want to be on the board of governors. They
told us of their long established links with the school and what they enjoyed about their
contact with running Deben and their endeavours to get as good an education as
possible for Felixstowe children.
Questions were then asked of the governors about what they saw as their role in the
running of the school, which ranged from improving the toilet facilities, to deciding on
the length of the school day, to appointing the right Headteacher – all vital in different
ways!

board for a range of issues within the school. We all agreed that parents were given
every opportunity to have their say, whatever the outcome, and we all appreciate
hearing from a wide range of school personnel at our meetings.
A most informative meeting closed with mutual thanks from parents and governors. Our
appreciation goes to Mr Brennan, Mr Carpenter, Mrs Harland, Mr Franks, Mr Barnsley, Mrs
Jewkes and Mr Tink, for giving up their time, and as always to Mr Cawley and
Mrs Cumberland (whose notes once again have been the mainstay of this report).
There was also mass approbation for the refreshments on offer. Could it be that our
hardworking governors are more used to meeting on a diet of dry biscuits and water,
whilst we at the PFG wallow in cakes and tea! Ah well, the secrets out now!
