The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You lead the school with clear determination and a passion to see pupils engage in learning and make good progress from their starting points. You are supported ably by your deputy headteacher and wider leadership team, who share your vision and care for the pupils at the school. Teachers and support staff follow your expectation that each pupil should be included in every aspect of school life. All staff who responded to the staff survey said that they are proud to work at the school and enjoy their work. As a result of your firm commitment, pupils are supported well and thrive at The Cedar School. Pupils say that they enjoy coming to school. They say that staff support them well by understanding their individual needs. One pupil remarked, ‘We love school but not just for the lessons. It is more than that.’ The culture of togetherness and shared values that you have established is respected by all, and results in exemplary behaviour throughout the school. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers are supportive of the school. They feel that staff go to great lengths to meet the needs of their children. One parent commented: ‘The whole school seems to be on the same page; that is, they [staff] all go the extra mile.’ Parents consider the school to be well led. Communication between school and parents is effective, although conversations regarding attendance are not prioritised.
