Principal's update - 22 May 2026

Dear families

With Half Term upon us, I want to wish you all a very pleasant break in what looks to be excellent weather.

This week we've seen our Year 8 Rugby Boys team make it to their championship final, demonstrating that hard work and resilience that we strive for here at Dixons Unity. We've also had many of our students representing us on the cricket pitch which is a sport we really value in the Dixons Trust.

This week we've also had our all-important reading tests, which let us know where each of our students are at as individuals when it comes to their literacy, and helps us to determine how best we can support them. I was really happy to hear that the vast majority of students showed integrity and took these tests very seriously.

I also want to commend our students on their improved behaviour this week. Despite some inclement weather and classroom changes, the majority of our students have carried themselves with maturity and respect, particularly at social times. 

Well done as well to our Year 11s, who are working hard as they make their way through this middle point of their exams. Energy has remained high in this second week, and I hope everyone is looking forward to that much-needed break. Rest, relax, and (of course) revise!

I look forward to welcoming you all back on Monday 1st June.

James Inman
