Cirencester Deer Park School
Cirencester, GL7 1XB · Gloucestershire · secondary school
15th of 39 secondary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 41 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 826 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5/10 among them, against 7.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 56.1 · 76 | 30% | 2.29 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.28 · 71 | 25% | 1.78 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 52.5 · 79 | 10% | 0.79 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 52.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.28 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs like Bake Off and Aim for the Stars, play football and watersports, and complete DofE Bronze Award Expeditions. They also take part in music tours to Cornwall and art trips, alongside volunteering in Ghana, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.
Getting in. The school has 1017 pupils in a capacity of 1045, leaving 28 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the final year to maintain their progress? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How does the school manage the transition for new students given the limited number of available places?
