Enrichment

At Dixons Pennine Academy, we know that each of our students comes to us with something special, and we have something unique and a shared desire for them grow and flourish within our communities.

To make this a reality, our charter for enrichment is a promise to students and their families that their child will:

• enjoy and experience a curriculum that extends well beyond the academic, understanding the importance of a range of British values

• promote the importance of working together and understanding that difference is a positive and makes that is what makes us all unique

• develop their character

• learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy (including when they are online)

• learn about healthy relationships and friendships through age appropriate relationships and sex education programme

• have a vast array of careers related events, experiences and encounters in order to develop their aspirations and career wellbeing

• have access to a stable and structured careers programme that is continually evaluated

• by the age of 14 (Year 9) have accessed and used information about careers pathways and labour market information to inform future study options

• by the age of 14 (Year 9) have had the opportunity to learn how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects help support people gain entry to a wide range of careers
