Our Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Pupil Services teams are designed to ensure that all pupils can thrive at Deer Park.

I think that coming to this school is the best decision that I made regarding my choices for the future. I feel that the way we learn really suits me as a person. It’s a brilliant place not just for learning but also for having fun.

I was inspired to carry on with German to GCSE level simply because of being a Language Leader.

Being a Language Leader has given me the opportunity to gain confidence in taking a leading role. It has also made me realise that children learn in different ways.
