About the Organisation

Our mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage in the North. As a school trust, we are committed to making a difference where it matters most through delivering exceptional education in our schools in Bradford, Leeds, Liverpool and Greater Manchester, which include primaries, secondaries, all-throughs and a standalone sixth form. 

- We are values driven: we work hard on the things that matter, with humility; we are good and kind; we are motivated by mastery, autonomy and purpose.
- We have been challenging educational and social disadvantage for over 30 years. 
- We have launched a bold flexible working policy to give our teachers more time back. 
- We are ambitious for every child and highly inclusive. 
- We have an innovative approach to central operations which allows educators to focus on teaching and learning. 
- We prioritise the professional development and growth of all our staff; every member of Team Dixons receives regular coaching. 
- We are committed to recruiting a diverse workforce and our staff work collaboratively to share resources and reduce workload. 
- We offer hybrid working arrangements and free on-site parking. 
- We have a wealth of benefits and salary sacrifice schemes (private health, lifestyle benefits and discounts).

Within our communities, we work together to establish joyful, rigorous, high performing schools which maximise attainment, value diversity, develop character and build cultural capital. By the age of 18, we want every student to have the choice of university or a high-quality apprenticeship.
