  • "Since our sons joined The Cedars School we've seen them grow – morally and academically - into confident young men of worth and purpose. They look forward to going to school and thoroughly enjoy being part of its warm and inclusive community. The school has such a happy, vibrant atmosphere where students are encouraged to think critically and independently. There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved in school life and volunteer, both within the school and in the wider community."

  • “My daughter’s tutor and other teachers always responded to our concerns thoughtfully and openly, seeking to resolve our anxieties rather than defend a position. The Laurels is a small school with a huge heart, punching far above its weight in the opportunities it offers and the support it provides.” Parent

THE TCLS DIFFERENCE


THE TCLS DIFFERENCE

September 2024 marks an exciting new stage in our schools’ development. The launch of our new co-educational Sixth Form offers the young men and women of The Cedars and The Laurels – and those who will be joining us from other schools - unparalleled opportunities for personal and intellectual growth in a stimulating and supportive environment. 


TCLS aims to develop the whole person, in close partnership with parents, through a deeply embedded character programme grounded in Catholic principles, which will enable each pupil to fulfil their potential through acquiring virtues in a climate that balances freedom with responsibility.


Our aim is for your child to achieve academic excellence and to forge a compass for life.


We do this through:


  • A culture of excellence
  • An environment promoting a lifelong passion for learning.
  • A pedagogy of virtue enabling each student to make wise choices for themselves.
  • A tutorial system aimed at bringing out the best in each person.
  • A strong and close relationship with parents.

HAPPINESS

The Arete & Eudaimonia Programmes overarch every aspect of school life at TCLS. It is not just another set of lessons but rather a way of learning, studying, thinking and living. Both Programmes at TCLS aim to help pupils achieve happiness through excellence by providing personalised support for both their academic studies as well as their social lives. Pupils have the opportunity to bring together different parts of what they have learnt in order to be the best that they can possibly be.
