Vision and values
Vision
Everyone at DCA will be empowered to change the world for the better:
At Dixons City Academy, every child will be equally able to secure outstanding educational outcomes and reach their full potential. All children will be instilled with the desire to learn the knowledge to think critically and creatively; they are empowered to determine their own future and change the world for the better. Students will achieve this through becoming resilient learners and appreciating our 5 core PRIDE values (Purpose, Respect, Integrity, Determination and Excellence), modeled by all staff at all times. We are ambitious for our whole community and invest in strong professional relationships in order to be the best we all can be. Dixons City Academy values its long-established reputation as a top-performing school, with student learning at it’s heart.
