On Open Evening last week we interviewed our teachers, here are just a couple of them answering ‘Why D6A?’🙌

We observed 2 minutes silence today here at D6A, remembering the service and sacrifice of the UK armed forces and remembering innocent lives lost. It was an honour once again to have our silence be marked with bagpipes and drums from Robert McLean and one of our YR1 students.

How do we create value driven services at Dixons between our shared services team and academies?
