Cedars Upper School is an upper school and sixth form with academy status, located in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England.

History

Grammar school

The school was founded as a grammar school in 1921 in Church Square, at the end of the High Street in Leighton Buzzard. The house was formerly occupied by Mary Norton.

Comprehensive

In 1973 the school became a comprehensive school and moved to its current location on Mentmore Road. Leighton Middle School was founded at the former location.[1][3]

The school became a specialist Mathematics and Computing College in September 2006,[4] and due to the specialism, the school also became a Microsoft Sponsored School. The school then converted to academy status in September 2011.

Houses

The school now has four houses named after rivers; Orinoco, Lena, Danube and Zambezi after the school changed to a vertical tutoring system in 2010.

In September 2016, the Murray house was removed.

The former houses were named after the patron saints of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales; George, Andrew, Patrick and David
