Welcome to the Cedars Academy! We are part of the Lionheart Academies Trust, a Leicestershire-based Multi Academies Trust steeped in traditions of academic excellence and holistic development. We are extremely proud of the high standards and aspirations of our young people which, coupled with inspirational teaching, means pupils show a positive attitude to their learning. Through working hard and aspiring to excellence, we achieve the best possible outcomes for our pupils. It is these high standards that have placed the Cedars Academy in the top third of schools in Leicestershire for Progress 8.
We want every pupil to aspire to excellence. We recognise that our aspirational learners need opportunities to progress. Whether this be through inspirational teaching of the GCSE and A-level curriculum, or through working closely with our STEM partners on programmes which place a strong emphasis on exploring STEM career routes. We also work with the Brilliant Club, offering our most able pupils the opportunity to study with a University to complete a thesis, designed to inspire and prepare pupils to apply for prestigious universities. It is these high standards which lead to attainment in all areas.
At the Cedars Academy, we seek to remove any barriers to attainment. Inspirational teaching allows students to make progress in their learning, whilst our high standards ensure pupils achieve the best possible outcomes and success. We are ambitious and aspirational for our staff and pupils; we believe that by working hard and aspiring to excellence in all that we do, each and every pupil will succeed

Cedars Academy Bike repair and refurbishment scheme has been working hard to fix and donate bikes for the Cedars, primary feeders and wider communities.
December 18, 2020
Despite only starting the project in March, and having the project very inconveniently interrupted by the national lockdown, a small number of students have been giving up their time on a regular basis to support the scheme. And in the short space of time have refurbished, and now distributed 20 bicycles.
Mr Nigel Jarvis, the Cedars Academy Staff member leading the project said. “I’m very proud of the students involved. Despite a shortage of time on the project, they chose to give up quite a bit of their own time to ensure it was successful. And they have shown pride in their work having taken donated bikes of varying quality, fixed, sanded, resprayed and decorated them to a standard which means they can be donated and can be enjoyed by members of our community.”
“In doing so they have developed practical skills to use in the future on bikes or further afield, learnt the value of recycling materials and, most importantly, shown their joy in doing a good deed for the community.”
“Students at Cedars, The feeder primary schools and some local charities have received the completed bikes. Free of charge and in a roadworthy, clean and presentable condition. We felt as a team, this year as much as any, that any help we could give prior to Christmas was an effort worth investing. The students involved have also expressed the desire to continue the project, and next year we aim to donate more.”
This coupled with the donations of Christmas treats, made by students, and the food bank collection is just one of many initiatives students at Cedars have supported wholeheartedly with the aim of supporting our local community.
