## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Why Dixons City Is Gods: The headteacher is kindhearted as so as the teacher *(Feb 2025)*
- **1/5** — Dixon city academy: Disgusting every day that I went was another day I wanted to kill myself and in terms of protecting students from bullying they don’t do jack owt bad school had to take anti depressant tablets ever since *(Oct 2024)*
- **1/5** — Rubbish!!!: I do not recommend this school at all. Reasons for this is they are not experienced enough to control or guide a child. The school are only concerned about their numbers they report to the upper authority. Toilets are locked because other children smoke in there, drugs and other paraphernalia are widely available amongst students. Communication with parents is as and when suited to the teacher. If you call and ask to speak to a particular teacher he/she becomes a diva so you are waiting for ever… *(Feb 2024)*
- **4/5** — My opinion of this school: I moved my child to Dixons and the teachers are kind and respectful. I love the school I wish I was a teacher there *(Dec 2023)*
- **2/5** — My school review: I have been at that school for less than a year and it feels like hell the teacher the rules and when u get detention ur parents can't pull u out even if it's important but some of the education is good but the phrase they told me is that u or anyone can be replaced like they don't care but know they have a new head and and don't know how he is he seems nice but I don't know anyway I know that this school puts way to much pressure on you *(Jul 2023)*
- **3/5** — Disgusting food: The food is really not that good and not worth the money. The rules are too strict and detentions are given for even minor mistakes like nor having a white board pen like they run out. But some teachers are really great and care abt their students. plus the dt facilties are amazing *(Jul 2023)*
- **3/5** — L school: its meh.. been few years since i left so idk if much has changed, but it was like a prison… i think some detentions were ridiculous, like getting in trouble for not having a pencil, getting homework wrong (not common but happened to me…) some of the teaching is good, but i think some teachers often would tend to take their frustrations out on students which wasnt great. when i started here it was just anxiety and fear everyday since they’re so so so strict, which continued throughout the whole e… *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed emotions about the school: We're still getting used to Dixons City Academy. Some of the teachers are great, but others seem a bit unorganised. The facilities are okay, but we've had some issues with the school meals. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school experience so far: We're really happy with Dixons City Academy. The facilities are great and the staff are friendly and supportive. Our child is thriving in a positive and inclusive environment. *(Sep 2022)*
