The Cedars School was an 11–18 boys, Roman Catholic, private school and sixth form. It was located in the Upper Norwood area of the London Borough of Croydon in England. In 2025 it merged with its sister school The Laurels School to form Fidelis College. The current site is the former location of Virgo Fidelis Convent Senior School, a Roman Catholic voluntary aided secondary school for girls. Prior to the merger, the school site was also shared with The Laurels School for girls.

Until September 2021 the school was located in the Lloyd Park area of Croydon. It was established in September 2013 by the PACT Educational Trust in a Grade II listed building dating back to the 18th century. It was the first senior school in the country to be based on the ethos of Opus Dei and was located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark.
