At Dixons Broadgreen Academy, our mission is to provide all students with a first-class education; one that opens every door in their adult life to maximise their life chances in the future. We are committed to empowering every individual so that they fulfil our mission of ensuring every student succeeded at university or real life alternative, thrived in a top job and lived their best life. Students and staff are committed to three core values that underpin who we are and how we behave: - Work Hard Whatever it takes for as long as it takes and never give up, Have Integrity We do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, We support each other without excuses and Be Fair We play by the rules, we are polite, courteous, and fair with everything we do. The Art department at DBA ensures that all students appreciate all forms of Art and understands its power and purpose to enrich our human existence. In Year 9 our curriculum enables pupils to experience and develop a wide range of techniques and processes in 2D and 3D materials in order to equip themselves with the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to make informed choices about continuing their practice in the arts at KS5 and beyond.
