Welcome

On behalf of the staff, governors and pupils we would like to welcome you to the Cedar Hall School website.  We hope you will get a flavour of the warm and friendly atmosphere in the school where pupils feel happy and safe so that they can focus on their learning and make great progress. 

Cedar Hall is an all age special school for young people with complex learning needs many of whom are on the autistic spectrum and may also have social and communication difficulties.

Mission Statement : ‘Our school is a friendly, welcoming place where everyone is encouraged to do and achieve their best.  We believe every pupil should be taught to have a go, try new things and look out for the welfare of others.  We provide the opportunities for children to shine.  Everybody is Somebody at Cedar Hall.'

If you have any queries please contact Mrs H White, our Head Teacher’s PA, on 01268 774723 or at admin@cedarhall.essex.sch.uk

The Cedar Hall School mission statement is underpinned by our 5i’s. 

Instilling Resilience and Confidence

To have the ability to carry out day to day tasks in order to live an independent life. The aim is to equip our student with the skills in order for them to confidently adapt and overcome hurdles and be resilient in the face of adversity.

Improving Wellbeing

We encourage pupils to live a healthy and productive life. To have an understanding of the importance of their mental health and have strategies that can be drawn up to improve and protect this. To have a sense of self pride and develop healthy habits for both body and mind.

Increasing Opportunities

We aim for all our students to leave Cedar Hall with a form of accreditation that is recognised in the wider community giving students a sense of accomplishment and achievement. All students are taught the importance of communication in order to get their needs met and increase their opportunities in the wider world.

Encouraging Independence

Across all aspects of the curriculum students are taught specific independent skills in order for them to tackle practical problems in life. e.g. Travel training, getting dressed, kitchen skills, personal care. With an emphasis on keeping safe both in person and online.

Involving Community and Citizenship

Working alongside parents, carers and stakeholders we endeavour to impart knowledge of the wider world and community for students to become active and caring citizens in society.
