Dixons Unity Academy was founded on 1 October 2018 and is an 11-16 academy which serves the local community; however, we do have students who travel across the city to learn with us. Situated on the borders of the communities of Armley, Wortley and Bramley, the academy consists of 830 students in years 7 to 11 and we have 200 places available for year 7 students in 2022.
We believe that all students, from all backgrounds and all cultures can climb the mountain to university or a viable alternative. We place a focus on building the resilience and self-respect which allows us to reach our goals. Students and staff are required to demonstrate integrity and respect at all times and remain values-driven. All staff demand the highest standards of behaviour and learning to ensure that students get what they deserve: a high quality education which allows students to become lifelong learners and enrich their communities with their mind-set, knowledge and skills.
A note from the Principal
At Dixons Unity we have many minds but one mission: all students succeed at university or a real alternative; they live happy and purposeful lives.
Our values of integrity, resilience and respect permeate everything that we do. From the moment a student arrives at Dixons Unity, we ask them to live these values:
Integrity: We are honest and do the right thing even when nobody is watching.
Resilience: We work hard, overcome obstacles, and never give up.
Respect: We are polite, value others and treat everyone fairly.
Unity means to be whole and undivided. We apply these values both individually and collectively and I believe that, together, we can support every child to flourish and lead happy and successful lives, regardless of disadvantage or background. I will strive to ensure that the academy community works tirelessly to achieve this mission.
