Monday 26 July to Friday 6 August 2021
In what has been an extremely disjointed period for all, the aim of our Summer School 2021 was to provide a welcome boost to the settling-in period for the latest additions to our George Dixon family - our incoming Year 7 cohort. A two-week programme aimed at developing group cohesion and familiarisation with the Academy building and staff, and comprising a combination of fun-filled academic and enrichment activities, was carefully crafted. Ably-assisted by a number of student leaders from across various year groups, the programme proved a huge success for all in attendance. An overview of the programme follows below:
