Pastoral Care

Cedar Mount is a welcoming and inclusive school. Pupils share highly positive relationships with staff and their peers. They know that staff care deeply for them. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe in school. Pupils say that the school is like a second family.” Ofsted 2023

At Cedar Mount Academy a Progress Leader and an Assistant Progress Leader  is dedicated to each year group to assist form tutors. The Progress Leader has responsibility for the overall academic progress and social development of each child in that year.  He / she co-ordinates the work of form tutors and is an important source of information and contact for parents.

The Progress Leader will encourage high standards of behaviour and dress and will maintain a clear record of students’ academic and personal progress as students move up through the school.
