About Cedar Mount Academy
Cedar Mount Academy are part of Bright Futures Educational Trust, a
multi-academy trust set up in 2011. The Trust is made up of a richly diverse
group of schools in Greater Manchester and Blackpool. We are passionate about working together within and beyond
the Trust to achieve our aspirational vision: the best for everyone, the best from everyone. We are
an organisation that is underpinned by values of: community, integrity
and passion. In everything we do, we remember that we are accountable
to the children, families and communities that we serve.
Cedar Mount Academy opened in 2000 and is
co-located with Melland High School, an outstanding special school which is
also part of Bright Futures Educational Trust as is Rushbrook Primary Academy
which also shares the campus.
The Cedar Mount Academy Way
“Leaders’ strong moral purpose and unwavering
focus to create a positive culture for learning has transformed the school into
a better place.” Ofsted 2023
Cedar Mount Academy is a fantastic school. We
believe that all students should learn to be the best version of themselves so
that they leave school after five years as happy, caring and knowledgeable
scholars.
We are a school designed to support and
develop our local community, driven by our core values. Our firm belief in
these values ensures our commitment to high-quality education for all students.
Parents who choose to send their children to Cedar Mount Academy know they will
be giving their child an opportunity to learn in a hardworking, academic
culture that brings out the best in everyone.
At Cedar Mount Academy we ensure students have
access to a 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. We have notable success in sports
(we are City Champions in a range of events), public speaking, drama (students
have taken part in a range of performances) and much more. Students enjoy many
trips, visits, and residential opportunities, enabling them to enjoy the very
best experiences so they thrive in all they do.
We are a diverse and multicultural community
where differences are celebrated and where students are given high quality
pastoral care from our wonderful staff team. The school offers a vibrant,
studious, calm and welcoming environment. Ofsted (2023): “…the school is like a
second family”.
We have been on a strong journey of
improvement and are ambitious about our next steps. Leadership is strong and
ambitious, and the curriculum work has been extensive. Our last inspection in
April 2023 gives us much to celebrate with three areas of school judged as
securely ‘Good’:
- Leadership
and Management – Good
- Behaviour
and Attitudes – Good
- Personal
Development – Good
Exciting work is underway to embed the
curriculum work and secure ‘Good’ for the ‘Quality of Education’. This is an
exciting time to join our thriving school community and we are proud of the
difference we are making to children’s lives.
“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” and
“Leaders have developed a rich, varied and ambitious curriculum. Pupils enjoy
learning new knowledge and ideas”.
We offer a great opportunity to join an
organisation which really lives its values. Our working environment is very
inclusive and whilst you can expect to be challenged in your role, you will be
supported through professional learning, and treated fairly and with dignity
and respect. Please see the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion statement on our
