Why we love Dixons Unity

Feedback from our stakeholders:

"Thank you for hosting our visit to Dixons Unity. It was great to heat about the turnaround at Dixons Unity. In particular, our delegates loved the opportunity to meet with students and hear abut the impact those changes have had on them - they were so impressive! The delegates were incredible excited about everything they saw at Unity!"

"Yesterday, I visited Dixons Unity Academy. There are so many good things happening there and pupils and the wider community are benefiting greatly as a result!"

Stuart Voyce, Executive Direction at Rodillian MAT, October 2024

"We visited Unity and were truly impressed by the serene and purposeful learning environment. We met polite and well mannered students who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Lessons were engaging and it was clear that relationships between staff and students were exemplary. Students thrived as a result of the climate that had been created by school leaders. I look forward to seeing the school go from strength to strength."

Phil Davis, Executive Headteacher at New Collaborative Learning Trust, July 2024

"Staff have high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour. These expectations are being increasingly well realised. Pupils experience consistent routines and common approaches to teaching. This creates a strong focus on learning."
