School overview

The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 49.5 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 2.3 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 31% of secondary schools nationally.
50% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 67% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Dixons City Academy is oversubscribed: about 4 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 369 first choices for 171 places. After Year 11, 96% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.1%. There are about 18.6 pupils per teacher. Dixons City Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
