Alexander Conlon

Vice Principal - Quality of Education

Alexander has worked at Dixons McMillan Academy in a number of roles. He started as an associate member of staff working to support students in Mountain Support before completing his PGCE with Dixons Academies. Since then, Alexander has been a Teacher of History, Head of Year, Associate Senior Leader, Assistant Vice Principal, and now Vice Principal for Quality of Education. 

Alexander has also served a four-year term as staff representative on the Local Academy Board and a two-year term as Dixons McMillan's representative to the Trust's Executive Shadow Board. He also leads the History department and regularly works with colleagues across the Trust in this capacity.

Alexander is an Ancient History & Archaeology graduate of the University of Manchester after his own secondary school experience as a student at Dixons City Academy in Bradford. He has also worked in archaeological research, helping to teach archaeological fieldwork skills to undergraduates from various Russell Group universities. Alexander hopes that his experience of also being a Dixons student will help those who he teaches climb their mountains to future success.
