Cirencester Deer Park School is a founding member of The Corinium Education Trust, a local multi-academy trust. While all schools within The Corinium Education Trust are expected to embrace the Trust's overarching vision, each school has its own unique ethos and distinctive characteristics.

At Cirencester Deer Park School pupils thrive in a learning environment that provides support and challenge and encourages success.

There is a ‘buzz’ of excitement about learning at Deer Park. Our pupils enjoy coming to school, they have high aspirations and consistently achieve more than they first thought possible!

Learning is our core purpose and our commitment to building learning power ensures that our pupils develop and exercise those learning muscles that will enable them to be confident, independent and successful lifelong learners. During their time with us they become aware of their own preferred learning styles and develop new skills to aid independent study. They are expected to become resilient and reflective learners and to practise reciprocal and resourceful learning strategies intuitively. In addition to achieving good grades in public examinations, our pupils learn to contribute effectively to team work and to take responsibility as leaders.

We are committed to delivering a broad, balanced and enriching curriculum which enables all pupils to access the knowledge, skills and cultural capital required to prepare them to lead happy, ethical, productive and fulfilling lives. Our curriculum is ambitious in delivering and engaging all our pupils in the high quality education to which they are entitled.

Through our curriculum and enrichment activities our pupils learn to solve problems and make informed decisions. They are encouraged to take responsibility. They are given a strong voice and make a significant contribution to the community of the school. They participate in international debate, lead consultation and bring about change.

Cirencester Deer Park is a forward looking and outward facing school. We provide a supportive environment in which to teach and learn.

At Cirencester Deer Park School there is a strong sense of community where the common goal amongst pupils and staff is to be the best that they can be, based on the foundations of continual challenge and support.

As a founding member of The Corinium Education Trust we are committed to working in partnership with our partner schools and we aim to improve pupils’ learning and life chances through continuous school improvement.
