Welcome to the Cedars Academy

The Cedars Academy is part of the Lionheart Educational Trust. 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.

Behaviour at The Cedars

We understand that teaching children how to behave is just as much a part of the curriculum as the subjects we teach . We've created a Behaviour video catalogue to help our parent community understand how we teach Behaviour.
