James Dixon Primary School

James Dixon Primary School is a vibrant, diverse, caring and happy community. We embrace the diversity of our school community and feel privileged to be part of a multicultural school community. Everyone is committed to providing the best learning opportunities for our pupils. We provide opportunities for children to strengthen their independent learning, the ability to accept challenge and to believe in themselves.

At James Dixon we recognise the benefits and positive impact that Learning Outside the Classroom and The Arts have on our pupils and are committed to ensuring that they have real and memorable experiences which enable them to have fun, experience personal success, feel challenged and become productive citizens who take pride in their school community, local community and will grow to understand their roles and responsibilities as global citizens.

We value respect, cooperation, resilience and honesty. During their time at James Dixon, pupils are encouraged to work towards their personal goals through our broad, exciting and original curriculum.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website and that you find any information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school directly with any queries you may have.

The James Dixon Creative Curriculum immerses our children in real life learning opportunities which allow them to take risks, build confidence and have fun. These inclusive learning experiences will create memories and prepare our children to use and explore their talents to help shape a better future for the local and wider community.

We aim to create enthusiastic, fluent readers that have a deep understanding of texts; competent, accurate writers who write with flair and enthusiasm; and pupils who speak confidently and listen carefully so they are sufficiently skilled and ready for the next stage in their education.

We encourage our pupils to make enquiry into significant human questions which religion and worldviews address, so that they can develop the understanding and skills needed to appreciate and appraise the views of others.

School Ethos
We aspire to be a school which is at the heart of the community. We aim to maintain our excellent lines of communication and relationship with parents and extend this to positive relationships with local business.

We have a constant drive to maintain and improve standards whilst giving our children moments and experiences they will never forget through our Creative Curriculum and dedication to The Arts. We have recently been awarded the new Arts Mark accreditation and we are dedicated to developing our Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC). We have Children’s University status which is further evidence of our commitment towards providing innovative and exciting learning experiences.

We currently have a Specialist Provision class for children with complex learning needs. We aim to continue the success of this provision.
