Preparatory Headmistress
A family wants nothing more than to see their child flourish, be confident and reach their full potential. Happy children learn and develop socially and emotionally. However, that is not the reality for some. School becomes anxiety-inducing.
Imagine the relief in finding a school where teaching aligns with how your child learns, where individual support is a priority, and the school’s core mission is to help each child reach their full potential.
There is a saying that you cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper. At Cedarwood Prep, we believe in creating a new, distinct “hole” away from what has not worked before. This means we don’t just repeat the same methods that may have caused anxiety or learning challenges in the past. Instead, we build on our pupil’s strengths and support their deficits, addressing the anxiety that has inevitably built up over time.
So why Cedarwood School?
From the moment a child steps through our doors, they are enveloped in a calm, rural environment that soothes the soul. Cedarwood Prep is a small school where everyone knows everyone, and each pupil is accepted and valued for who they are. Our small classes, dedicated support department, and inclusive approach create a supportive structure designed to help our pupils feel a sense of belonging so they can reach their full potential. One size does not fit all, and recognising individual needs is what makes the difference.
There is something else, perhaps intangible but felt – ‘passion’.
Our carefully selected and trained teachers and support therapists are passionate about their work; they form meaningful relationships with our pupils. The adage “you have to reach to teach” is never truer than in our school.
There are so many facets that make up our unique school. Much like a stained-glass window, it is the opportunity for each pupil to shine. Each distinctive piece of glass that allows them to be the best that they can be.
