Improvement planning

Academy Improvement Plan 2023-26

Our key drivers of mastery, autonomy and purpose* underpin our priorities for 2020-23:

1. Mastery: the urge to get better and better at something that matters:
1.1 Demonstrate outstanding progress and achievement
1.2 Ensure learning is rigorous, engaging and underpinned by meaningful feedback
1.3 Embed a rich and exciting curriculum that embodies the laws of mastery

2. Autonomy: the desire to direct our own lives:
2.1 Create a disciplined and joyful school culture
2.2 Develop gritty, confident and self-directed learners
2.3 Cultivate effective, autonomous leaders at every level of the organisation

3. Purpose: the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves:
3.1 Establish a genuine three-way partnership between families, students and staff
3.2 Work with the Dixons Academies to replicate best practice / contribute to improvement
3.3 Establish a strong reputation for Dixons Trinity Academy
