Welcome to Cedar Class!

In Cedar Class we understand that learning is lifelong. We all learn all of the time. We always strive to do our best and show respect to all members of our school community.

We embrace challenges and understand that making mistakes and learning from them is how we accelerate progress across all areas of the curriculum. 

Personalising the Learning Journey

In Cedar Class, we utilise the CUSP reading and writing scheme, which has been adapted to meet the specific needs of our pupils and personalise their learning journey. This approach ensures that the content and pace of learning are tailored to support the individual progress of each child.

Mastering Mathematics

To support our pupils in mathematics, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme, which is further adapted to align with the requirements of each year group and the unique learning needs of the individuals within Cedar Class. This allows us to build a strong foundation in mathematical concepts and skills.

Nurturing Resilience and Independence

Aligned with our school’s vision and values, we aim to nurture resilience and independence in our Cedar Class pupils. Through our carefully crafted curriculum and learning experiences, we empower our pupils to take ownership of their educational journey, develop problem-solving skills, and become confident, self-directed learners.
