Debden Park High School

At lunchtime today pupils came together to celebrate the 2nd Eid of the year (Eid-Ul Adha) and enjoyed some delicious food and participating in an Eid quiz.

Different teachers gave a helping hand setting up the room and providing dishes. A massive shout out to Mdm Asam, Mdm Doran, Mdm Wellstead, Mdm Amin, Mr Ali, Mr Hussain, Mdm Dano, Mr Khalil, Mdm Khalid, Mdm Dilara, Mdm Nejad and Mr Haque. It was also lovely to see so many different staff and students popping in and showing their support!

Huge congratulations to Makayla in Year 10, who last week represented Debden Park High School at the Regional Finals of Jack Petchey's Speak Out at Becket Keys School in Brentwood. Makayla showed sheer determination on the night, and performed what was an incredibly passionate and beautifully delivered speech. As a school we are so proud!

Today our selected Yr7 students met for the first time to begin the Carnegie Shadowing Award Book Club, which is a National Award. Students selected their first book from the 9 on offer. We look forward to meeting up each week.

We are looking to appoint an exceptional and driven professional who will join a highly successful, enthusiastic and talented team and work with us to inspire our students. The role will involve teaching English, potentially across 3 key stages, and would be suitable for an ECT in particular.

Closing date - Friday May 1st

We have an exciting opportunity for a part time teacher of Spanish. With 1, 2 or 3 days a week negotiable. This is a great opportunity to work at our outstanding school.

The Books of the Month for spring are a collection of past Carnegie books.

The Carnegie Medal is a prestigious UK book award that annually honors an outstanding book written for children and young people. Every year we take part in this award process and our selected students will be voting for their favourite book, alongside posting reviews on the Carnegie website and taking part in activities and much more.

We are excited to be able to advertise for a new Teacher of English to join our very high performing English team. This would be a great opportunity for an ECT.
