Welcome

It is both a privilege and a joy to welcome you to Cedar Mount Academy. Ours is a school at the heart of the Gorton community, where diversity is embraced, individuality is celebrated and ambition is nurtured.

At Cedar Mount Academy we live by our vision: the best for everyone, the best from everyone. This shapes everything we do, from the way we teach and support our young people to the relationships we build with families and the wider community. Our mission is clear, to foster an inclusive community, built on strong relationships and shared values, where every child feels they belong and is given the opportunity to flourish.

Our values of kindness, hard work, resilience, respect and honesty underpin daily life at the academy. They guide our students not just in their learning, but in the way they treat themselves and others. We believe that education is not only about academic success, but also about developing character, nurturing a love of learning and equipping young people with the confidence and skills they need to make a positive difference in the world.

Through our knowledge-rich curriculum, our students are challenged to think deeply, explore new ideas and discover their potential. Alongside this, they benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities that broaden horizons and inspire ambition. We want every student to leave Cedar Mount Academy with powerful knowledge, strong values and the self-belief to succeed.

I am incredibly proud of the warmth and vibrancy of our school community. Cedar Mount Academy is more than just a place of learning; it is a place where children feel safe, supported and inspired to be the very best they can be. As a member of Bright Futures Educational Trust, we are part of a family of schools working together to ensure excellence and opportunity for all.

I warmly invite you to visit us and see our community in action. You will find a school that is ambitious for its students, rooted in strong values, and committed to making Cedar Mount Academy the place to be.

Mr S Garvey – Principal
