At Dixons Kings, we live by our core values. Integrity is always doing the right thing and keeping true to your moral principles. Diligence is the necessity of giving attention to detail in order to avoid error and overcome obstacles. Finally, Civility is about showing everyone consideration and respect. Our appreciations newsletter celebrates the members of our academy family who exhibit these values and climb the mountain to success. We also champion the family members who, during their climb, have shown themselves to be unique, ambitious and creative.

Please note that it is parental responsibility to inform the Academy of changes to addresses or telephone numbers so that we can keep our records up to date, however the Academy cannot put any of the changes onto your Parent Pay accounts, this has to be done by you as the account holder. It is important that you do this immediately as your details change so that you can receive important text messages and letters sent to you via Parent Pay.

We are very proud that our year 7 and 8 students dine together every day. Family dining gives students a chance to demonstrate integrity, diligence and civility while eating together with their tutors. They serve each other; clean up together and get a chance to talk about their journey up the mountain of success!

To show our appreciation, we give our family members 'two claps on three'. Here are year 7 demonstrating it!
