A big warm welcome to our website
Welcome to Cedar House School, where we’re dedicated to creating a caring and inclusive environment in which pupils feel a genuine sense of belonging, often for the first time.
We are passionate about transforming lives and building positive futures, ensuring that every child and young person feels valued and supported as part of our school community. We provide carefully structured and sequenced learning opportunities that encourage pupils to take an active role in their development. By helping them grow in confidence and develop their skills across all areas of life, we enable them to unlock their potential and achieve success. Our flexible and thoughtful approach considers individual abilities, peer dynamics, and specific needs, ensuring that barriers to learning are reduced and a strong foundation for progress is established. Through our ‘Spiral Curriculum’ we address gaps in knowledge and understanding, allowing pupils to build on their achievements at a pace that works for them. Our teaching methods are diverse and adaptable, tailored to suit the unique learning styles and strengths of each pupil. At Cedar House, we are more than educators. Here, every pupil is celebrated.
