HOME ABOUT US PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS CURRENT STUDENTS CURRENT PARENTS NEWS & EVENTS CAREERS CONTACT COVID UPDATE Following on from rising Covid rates the Government has asked that face masks be reintroduced in all secondary schools for students and staff in communal areas. This is a sensible way to help keep students, staff and our wider community safe from Covid this winter. Therefore, with immediate effect, we are requesting that all students (except those with a medical exemption) wear a face mask when travelling on school transport, in communal spaces and when queueing indoors for food. Please remember to continue to perform a lateral flow test twice weekly. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our local communities healthy and safe.

The Trust is led by Beauchamp College, which is steeped in traditions based on academic excellence and holistic development. These are both crucial ingredients in our recipe for success. The high standards and aspirations of our young people, coupled with inspirational teaching, means pupils at The Cedars Academy demonstrate exceptional achievement. CEDARS ACADEMY At The Cedars Academy, we believe the cornerstones of aspiring to excellence are organisation, discipline and hard work. Our mission is for pupils, regardless of their backgrounds, to make outstanding progress. We are proud of our successes and the opportunities we provide. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that pupils not only have a rewarding and enjoyable experience of school, but also to ensure that it prepares them for the rigours of future study at GCSE and Post-16. Our close work with our primary partners has enabled us to create a curriculum which builds on prior knowledge and which can be developed to stretch learners. MORE ABOUT US OUR PHILOSOPHY At the heart of our approach to education are the ‘4Rs’ which underpin everything we believe: Resilience, Reciprocity, Reflectiveness and Resourcefulness. Through promoting these core values we believe we can help equip our young people to not only succeed academically, but also socially, spiritually, and culturally. HOW TO APPLY “I have really enjoyed my time so far at The Cedars Academy. I have had lots of opportunities, in particular a chance to take part in The Brilliant Club, visit Cambridge University and be a ‘disease detective’.” “The school is everything you would want a school to be. The teachers are thoughtful, the pupils are polite and lively. You are pushed to your potential and stretched and encouraged to thrive.” OUR PLEDGE At the Cedars Academy we are driven to ensure pupil success is at the core of all our work. We provide a vibrant and engaging curriculum which promotes the love of learning, and prepares young people for the next steps in their lives. We are aspirational, bold and ambitious for pupils’ futures.
