About The Cedars Academy
The Cedars Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a solid foundation for any family evaluating secondary options in Charnwood. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and their GCSEs compared with peers across England. While the exact score for The Cedars Academy is not provided in the available data, the local authority average for Leicestershire sits at -0.1, meaning the typical school in the area helps students achieve slightly below the national average. Against this backdrop, the school’s Good Ofsted grade suggests it is performing reliably within its local context. Ofsted’s inspection framework considers not just exam results but also behaviour, leadership, and the quality of teaching, so the Good rating indicates consistent strengths across these areas. For parents, this means the school is a dependable choice within a local authority where only one of 46 secondary schools has achieved an Outstanding rating.
