Cedars Academy

Cedars Academy at a glance

Located in Birmingham, Cedars Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. The school educates roughly 318 pupils aged 7 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 36% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 23.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Overall pupil absence was 6.8%. There are about 20.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 57% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. 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.
