Good morning from Dixons Allerton Academy just one of our host academies for our trust conference 2023! Our theme this year is equality, diversity & inclusion. We’ll be tweeting live all day - follow #DixonsTogether to keep up to date! Dixons Centre for Growth

💬We are hearing first from our incredible keynote speakers Darryl Fairchild and Shenise Turn. Already they’re exploring why diversity can be a constant struggle and sharing their own experiences of inclusion. #dixonstogether

💬Giving us food for thought. Darryl Fairchild, City Commissioner for Dayton Ohio: “Do you want power? Do you want to make a change? You have people power. Power concedes nothing about the man. Power helps address injustice”. 🙌🏻 #dixonstogether Dixons Centre for Growth

Next up, a few thank you’s from our students to our teaching staff 💙 “Thank you - you go out of your way and use your own time to give us the best education.” “Thank you for helping me climb my mountain from year 7 onwards. You’ve helped me with everything.” #dixonstogether
