From the Dixons Marchbank Primary
Our goal at Dixons Academy is to combat social and academic inequality in the North. By the time they are eleven, our students will be resilient, self-assured people with goals for the next stage of their journey. In our assemblies, we have been striving to develop our three basic values for both adults and children. We all recognise our high standards for everyone as a result of this. Commitment means always exerting our best effort for the good of our community and ourselves. Teamwork is taking responsibility for oneself and cooperating to the mutual benefit of everybody. What do you think our guiding principles mean for students, employees, and parents? Our unwavering commitment to student achievement, spearheaded by a highly dedicated and knowledgeable team, is what makes Dixons different. We educate our students for success in the future in a world that is always changing by cultivating an autonomous, can-do culture that places a strong focus on self control. Our academies prioritise students and collaborate closely with parents. We encourage variety and strive to create joyful classrooms built on solid bonds, respect for one another, honesty, and integrity.
