Running Deer Wildlife Survey
For an hour of our school day, a survey on the wildlife in Butterdon wood was completed. The woods have truly sprung into life in recent weeks, and the wildlife are hard at work.

New School Term Dates
New school terms dates for the academic year 2019 - 2020 have just been released for Running Deer School. We advise all parents and carers to please take note of the following dates.
The Art of Casework
As part of the " Colourful Science day" we made a spin art device that used centrifugal force to spread paint across a round canvas, it was educational and also looked awesome!
Colourful Science Day
On Thursday 14th March 2019 we celebrated British Science Week by holding a "Colourful Science Day". Despite the day being a little wet and windy, all of the students got into the spirit of things and had fun experimenting with science and art.
Project Trout
There has been great excitement in the woods this week, as Project Trout has finally been completed following a trip to Hatchlands Trout Farm in South Brent.
The Power of Persistence
Modern society encourages the 'want it, get it now' way of life, we identify a need, we buy the product and so we solve the problem. However there is little personal growth in this way of life and this expected immediate resolution is something we encounter often with our students.
