The Cedars Academy, part of the Lionheart Educational Trust

At the Cedars Academy we believe in being kind, working hard, and taking responsibility. We believe school should be a calm, and safe place, where teachers can get on and teach, and pupils can get on and learn without disruption. We explicitly and relentlessly teach pupils positive behaviours and we have a simple, centralised behaviour and detention system, run and supervised by SLT, to support teachers with this. We are looking for a passionate, committed and inspiring Music Teacher to join our Team. If you are keen to make a real difference to the lives of young people, get in touch to arrange a visit.
