Dixons McMillan Academy

The academy is closed to all students on Thursday 5 March and Friday 6 March 2026 due to our Cycle 2 Data and Planning Days. We reopen as usual at the normal time on Monday 9 March 2026. Students should be fully equipped, in full uniform and fully ready to learn.

Our employability days

Three times a year, students take part in employability day, a dedicated focus on life beyond school. The day includes:

  • Employer encounters
  • CV writing
  • Mock interviews
  • Practical skills workshops

Alongside this, our wider careers programme features careers fairs, subject-specific projects, external speakers, and university and college visits. With support from an in-school careers advisor, students receive personalised guidance for post-16 applications and planning their future pathways.
