Primary Challenge 2010
As a Training School, Cirencester Deer Park has links to the universities of Gloucestershire, Bath, Bath Spa and Bristol and we tend to have more trainee teachers on placement than most schools. This extra staffing not only enables us to have two adults in many classrooms but means that we can do things we would not normally be able to do. On Monday 14 June our team of trainee teachers hosted a Primary Challenge Day for more than 50 pupils who will be joining the school in September.
