Science Faculty in Focus
Thisweek is National Science Week, and this year is a celebration of biodiversity, and why it’s important. Did you know that of the 1.4 million species described in total on Earth, about a quarter of them are beetles? That’s about 350,000 species of beetles alone! Some scientists think that the actual total number of all species may be 10 million or more. But biodiversity can provide people with much more important resources. For example, 70% of plants which show anti-cancer properties are found in the rainforests. In total, rainforests contain about half of the world’s plant and animal species, but they are being destroyed so quickly that many beneficial plants may become extinct before their medicinal uses have been discovered.
Engaging Parents!
At Cirencester Deer Park School we believe that our relationship with parents is vital to the success of the school. Engaging with parents is important in many aspects of school life.
After Half Term
A busy start to the term is underway. Year 11 coursework deadlines are approaching fast with examinations imminent. Numerous initiatives are in progress in a variety of subject areas, with Year 6 pupils from local junior schools being welcomed at Deer Park in after school Enrichment Activities in Design, Art and Science. Our pupils have returned safely from recent enriching experiences to Holland and Italy, either debating world issues with other European pupils or learning to ski down the slopes in Aprica, Italy.

World War II
|
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II. The Second World War was a highly destructive war that destroyed civilian populations, changed governments, altered borders and fostered the drive towards new weaponry. Those who survived it never forgot it and some were unable to return to normality afterwards.
For some people it introduced new respect, whilst for others it created opportunities to change things and challenge previously accepted injustices. Therefore it seems very appropriate that we mark this anniversary. |

Gloucestershire Medal for Courage 2009
The Gloucestershire Medal for Courage is awarded each year to local people who have shown exceptional courage during the previous year. Whether they have performed a single act of bravery or shown moral courage over a long period by coping with their own illness or disability, they can be eligible for the award.
Any organisation or individual can nominate a deserving Gloucestershire resident for the medal. Usually two medals are awarded each year: one for an act of gallantry or self sacrifice for the good of others, the other for moral courage and bravery in the face of personal disability or illness.
Questionnaire Results
(9th February 2010) As a part of our rigorous and on-going process of self evaluation we have recently surveyed pupils and staff to gauge current perceptions of the school and help us identify areas for improvement. The data from these questionnaires complements the responses from our Parent Questionnaires completed in 2009.
