BeeWell is an organisation in Manchester that focuses on the mental health of young children in the region, it aims to find out what can be done locally to produce better outcomes for children whose mental health is declining.

Children from Year 10 at Cedar Mount have been invited to participate in a short survey during November which will take place in school. If you do not want your child to participate then please complete the non consent form on the letter that your child has brought home with them. BeeWell will ask a series of questions about their child’s mental health, their personal life and more importantly what makes them feel happy. For those children that do complete the survey, the data collected will be used to help identify opportunities for improving the lives and outcomes of young people across Manchester.

Year 5 students from Old Hall Drive had their first Design and Technology experience last week during a visit to CMA. Guided by Miss Tilby and Miss Moss, pupils learned how to handle tools and shape, cut, and drill holes in wood to construct a pen & pencil holder. Working in groups the CMA Ambassadors were on hand for support in case they were struggling. Assistant Vice Principal Miss Hatton (OHD) sent a delightful email to Miss Tilby today, expressing how much the students enjoyed the workshop and mentioned the rest of the class can’t wait for their visit to CMA in two weeks time.

Asian History Month is always an exciting time at Cedar Mount, and as much as we try and capture it in pictures, there’s nothing like a film. Thank you to Miss Morris for editing a short film when she should have rested over the Easter break! So here it is, AHM CMA style! Enjoy!

• Andrew Tate is a misogynistic influencer who gained awareness in late summer 2022.
• He has subsequently been banned by many major social media sites.
• Misogyny can hurt people of all genders, not just those it directly attacks.

Tate’s influence on male students is “a big safeguarding issue” in schools so as a result Mr Platt, The Designated Safeguarding Officer at CMA has delivered additional safeguarding training to staff based on online misogyny. Parents may have seen his name pop up in the news, or they may have heard about him from their children. The below fact sheet will provide parents detailed information about who Andrew Tate is.

Cedar Mount honoured Asian History Month with various activities and special lessons during March, culminating in students wearing traditional dress. Classroom doors were decorated with Asian heroes, the canteen cooked popular dishes, Miss Rizvi took time to teach students some of her tried and tested recipes in food tech, and KS3 have been learning about South Asian Dance styles such as traditional Kathak and modern Bhangra and developing their own choreography.
