Dixons McMillan Academy

The academy is closed today (Monday 6 October 2025) due to urgent repairs and should be working from home. We will be opening as normal tomorrow (Tuesday 7 October 2025) at the normal time. All students should be in school by 07.55am for a 08.02am start.

Remote learning

 

In the event of your child needing to work from home, it is important that they can continue their studies remotely.

Your child has access to Sparx for Maths, Educake for Science, and Seneca for a number of other subjects. They can log onto these websites using their Dixons McMillan email address and password.

The links for the sites are below. New work is added on a regular basis and is mapped so that it mirrors the in school work meaning your child will not miss out. Subject teachers and subject leaders monitor work completed and will provide feedback as appropriate on return. Your child can access further work and use these websites for revision by searching for the content they require. 

Students should log onto a learning platform using their usual login details, then search for the topic they are currently studying or a previous unit they should be revising. They should then work through the units on the platform. They should also ensure that any work that has been specifically set to them by their teacher has been completed.
