Values and Vision

The school aims for all students to be treated as equals, no matter what their background and religion. Teachers hope to encourage students to work hard to achieve their goals. The school values personal, cultural and spiritual development, not just academic success. Cedar Mount wants every child to have respect for their peers and become good members of the community. The academy works closely with other schools, as it values community spirit. Parents are also prompted to take a role in the academic life of their children.

Ofsted report

“At the heart of his very clear vision for the school is effective transition from key stage 2 to 3. Leaders are working in partnership with their colleagues in the trust primary schools on a range of areas such as curriculum planning and behaviour management strategies. This collaborative approach is reflected in the new weekly bulletin which is distributed to parents of all pupils in the schools. This bulletin also reflects the importance that the executive principal puts on communicating effectively with parents. As well as being informative, it has a real focus on celebrating the achievements of pupils.”
