Leadership
Our principals are empowered to lead their academies, and they do so primarily in the best interests of their students and their school. They also work in partnership with other principals for the good of the Trust as a whole.
They articulate their own culture, values and vision for learning around our shared core principles. We empower our people in every area and at every level of the organisation, and hold them accountable for their outcomes. We develop a strong culture of student leadership in all our academies.
As Dixons Newall Green is welcoming a new cohort of students into the academy, we are also excited to welcome additional Trust leaders to the Senior Team to continue supporting our students to climb their mountain and live a fulfilling life.
