Year 10 have completed their Humanities fieldwork this week in Geography and History, with Geographers visiting Red Beck & Bradford last week and Historians visiting Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal this week. Everyone had a fantastic time and learnt lots ready for Y11!

We were very fortunate to send student representatives to Citizens UK General Election Assembly in London yesterday. It was great to hear political party representatives say how they would act on the people’s manifesto…and some sightseeing too!

I absolutely loved being part of this! Great experience for our students 👍

What a great moment this was! 👏👏 A lovely day for Year 9 at the Bradford Literature Festival 👍

The finale of our incredible collaboration concert featured students from 12 of our academies across all four of our cities, and was a brilliant medley of music from our collaborative choir and concert band, so much talent on one stage! 🥁🎸🎻

A wonderful Sports Day for our students. Well done to all 👏👏 Dixons McMillan Academy

Well done to our Year 10 students in English this week - showing enthusiasm for their first study of Macbeth. Always working hard to become independent writers 👏👏 Dixons McMillan Academy

Year 10 - you are fast becoming independent literary critics. The partnerships that were formed today were wonderful. Students working together in preparation for their Cycle 2 assessments👏👏 Dixons McMillan Academy Dixons Academies Trust
