Mission and values

Our mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage in the North. 

Measure 

By the age of 18, we want every student to have the choice of university or a high quality apprenticeship. 

We ask ourselves critical questions to ensure clarity and focus: 

Why do we exist?  

To challenge educational and social disadvantage in the North.  

How do we behave?  

We work hard on the things that matter, with humility.

We are good and kind.

We are motivated by mastery, autonomy and purpose.

What do we do?  

Within our communities, we work together to establish joyful, rigorous, high performing schools which maximise attainment, value diversity, develop character and build cultural capital.  

How will we succeed?  

With a focus on talent first, academic rigour and aligned autonomy. 

Please see below some videos from Dixons OpenSource explaining each of these key areas.

Talent first

Academic rigour

Aligned autonomy
