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 inperson 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.
