Expeditions
Learning at Dixons Newall Green Academy extends beyond the classroom. Our expeditions programme offers a range of enriching trips and visits, from residential stays and day trips to cultural experiences, designed to broaden horizons and provide real-world learning.
Expeditions foster resilience, teamwork, and independence, while reinforcing core values such as hard work, kindness, and integrity. Outdoor challenges, team-building activities, and exposure to new environments help students build confidence, develop life skills, and form positive relationships.
Many trips are linked to careers education, introducing students to different industries, workplaces, and career pathways. All expeditions are made accessible, with clear communication and support to ensure every student can participate.
Through these experiences, we aim to inspire curiosity, nurture ambition, and prepare students not just for exams, but for life beyond school.
