A note from the Principal


As Principal of Dixons Cottingley Academy, I believe that all students should receive an educational experience that enables them to learn, grow as individuals and contribute to society, regardless of their backgrounds or starting points.
Our mission is to ensure everyone achieves excellent results, and is empowered to lead a happy, purposeful and successful life.
In order to achieve this, we will work relentlessly with students and parents. This will require tremendous hard work from all as our expectations are incredibly high.
