Principal's Update - 16 May 2025

Posted 16th May 2025

Dear families

We are at the end of another beautifully sunny week at Dixons Unity. Next week is the last week of this term and as always we will be finishing on Friday at 12.30pm so please do adjust pick ups if required.

This week our students spent some time working with the 'Burley Banksy' renovating the boring old communication boxes in the area and making them considerably better looking! I've included one example here but do go on our Facebook to see more. A huge thanks to the students, Ms Fitzgibbon, Ms Clynes and our Chair of Ambassadors Jo for making this happen.

As well as the art, our Y11 students have been working hard on their GCSE examinations with lots of whole year group exams and fantastic attendance and effort from all. The hard work even extended to last Saturday when around a third of all Y11s came in to school for extra revision - great commitment!

Next week our Y11s will be continuing with their exams and the girls rugby teams have fixtures away at Bruntcliffe and Farnley. We're also launching our next set of student experience visits. Keep an eye out for details on Facebook and via MCAS if you want your child to be involved.

The big event in next weeks calendar is our family feast which is taking place on Wednesday from 4.30pm. I have included the flyer below, please do sign up or get in touch if you would like any more details. It is shaping up to be a fun and delicious evening!

That's all for this week. Have a great weekend!

Mr Jacobs
