Year 5/6 Primary Activities
Cirencester Deer Park School is a Specialist School for Technology, the Arts and Applied Learning, and was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ following our Ofsted Inspection in May 2010. Following the successful launch in November 2009, we are delighted to again be able to offer a range of seven after school activities for pupils in Years 5 and 6 at Primary School, running over 5 weeks in Term 1 starting during the week commencing Monday 20 September 2010.
Welcome back
We are pleased to welcome staff and pupils back to our new school term after the summer break, and, because we launch our new timetable in June, the pupils have returned to a prompt start and learning has commenced immediately!
Pupils in all year groups have applied themselves quickly to tasks and those in Year 11, who returned to learn some of their GCSE module exam results, especially, have shown a determination to succeed this year. Many have already secured good GCSE grades in French, Statistics and Religious Philosophy and have laid strong foundations in Geography, Maths and Science.
Exam Results 2010
Congratulations go to all of our pupils in the ‘Class of 2010’ who achieved the school’s best ever examination results this summer and a big thank you to all members of our staff team who have worked consistently hard to build our pupils’ learning power, challenge and support them over the five years they have been with us.
Back to School
We look forward to welcoming all our pupils back on Thursday 2 September at 8.50am after the summer break and to opening our doors to prospective pupils and their parents on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 September.

Art Exhibition
On Tuesday 13 July, Emma Rose, Art Co-ordinator, and her team of pupil curators, hosted a Private View at Cirencester Deer Park School. The Art Exhibition situated in the heart of the school was an opportunity for pupils, their parents and members of our local community to see the very high standard of work produced by pupils in Year 11 as part of their GCSE and BTEC courses in Art and Design and Technology.
Induction Days
Monday 12 July 2010
This week we extend a very warm welcome to our new Year 7 pupils who join us on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 July as a part of our induction programme. We are looking forward to meeting with them again, after our visits to them in their primary schools and our initial induction meetings in June.
This is the first year that we have been able to host our new tutor groups for two days and follows consultation with local primary Headteachers. We hope the pupils will benefit from this extended experience, enjoy the range of activities they will be able to engage in and make new friends. Many are already familiar with the school as they have participated in activities on site during their time in their primary schools, or over the last year in our programme of activities after-school and on our Primary Challenge Day in June.
Get the Ball Rolling
Get the Ball Rolling was written by the Berlin-based musician Mark Scheibe as an anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and is a flagship event for the ‘Think German' campaign: a year long celebration of the German language and culture spearheaded by the German Embassy, Goethe-Institut London, UK-German Connection and DAAD. The song contains verses in English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The five traditional languages of the South African national anthem are also represented in the song.
Design Faculty Exhibition
Come along at lunchtime and after school 12th-16th July to see the fab work in the Art Department and the Atrium from GCSE Art and Design, BTEC First Certificate in Art and Design, GCSE Design and Technology pupils.
Enrichment Week
This week pupils and staff of Deer Park School will enrich their learning through a range of activities and visits both in this country and across Europe.
Pupils from Year 7 to Year 10 will engage with different communities, whether on the Music Tour in the French Alps playing a series of concerts in different venues, or acting and performing with a Community Theatre project in local Primary Schools, or studying at an English University undertaking an Engineering specialist course. Year 10 pupils have the opportunity of experiencing the world of work in placements around the Cotswolds and beyond, including placements in Germany and Switzerland.
