Mission, Values and Drivers

Mission

Like all Dixons academies, our mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage in the North.

At Dixons City Academy, our purpose is excellence.
We focus on being the best version of ourselves to change our world for the better.
We will consistently be in the top 1% of schools nationally.

Values

Our three values are at the heart of everything we do; they are our behaviours and mindsets.

ValueArtefact – what actions you will see from students and staff at Dixons City. 
RESPECTWe treat others in our diverse community as we wish to be treated. We always follow instructions: first time, every time.
INTEGRITYWe do the right thing because it is the right thing to do (especially when no one is watching). We are kind to everyone.
DETERMINATIONMistakes are learning opportunities. We never give up on our learning because when we work hard we achieve amazing results.

Drivers

Our three drivers help build intrinsic motivation for learning.

Driver 
MasteryThe drive to get better at something that matters.
AutonomyThe drive to direct our own lives.
PurposeThe drive to connect to a cause larger than ourselves.
