Aspiration for all

We are passionately invested in providing the best possible chance for all of our students to thrive.

Welcome from the PrincipalThe staff at Cedar Mount Academy believe in the power of education to change people’s lives and I am proud to lead this school and strive for excellence in all that we do to achieve this outcome. This is a school designed to support and develop its local community driven by our three values of hard work, aspiration and respect. Our firm belief in these three values ensures our commitment to high quality education for everyone who passes through our doors.

Parents who choose to send their children to Cedar Mount Academy know they will be giving their child an opportunity to learn in a hard-working, academic culture that brings out the best in everyone. At Cedar Mount Academy we ensure students have access to wide range of educational opportunities, both academic and extra-curricular, that prepare them for their future and open up their prospects for further development. We are proud to give our students authentic experiences that excite and interest them and, as Matthew Arnold said, aspire for the “pursuit of our total perfection by means of getting to know the best which has been thought and said in the world”.

This school is a diverse and multicultural community where differences are respected and where students are given high quality pastoral care from a dedicated staff. The school is a calm, welcoming environment where no-one is afraid to learn from mistakes and where everybody challenges themselves to do their very best. We believe that every member of our community deserves the utmost respect. We work to ensure that our school environment supports our students to fulfil their potential, the best for everyone and the best from everyone.
