Dixons Broadgreen Academy

Our academy is now closed for the summer break. We look forward to welcoming our Year 7 and Year 11 students back on Monday 1 September, and our Year 8 to Year 13 students back on Tuesday 2 September.

Our academy day

At Dixons Broadgreen Academy, we operate a longer working week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. With an extended academy day, students have more time in the classroom to acquire skills, knowledge and understanding. There are no shortcuts to success.
