The Cedars Academy is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 181 first choices for 180 places. After Year 11, 92% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 8.7%. There are about 17.2 pupils per teacher. The Cedars Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
