Episode Synopsis "Start-up Schools 5: Dixons Trinity Academy"

Start-up Schools brings together people interested in starting new schools. School founders tell their stories and answer your questions. About this event ‘Start-up Schools’ is a network for people interested in starting or working in a brand new school. Our shared belief is that new schools provide an opportunity to push the boundaries for what schools can achieve for all children. In Start-up Schools 5, we meet Sir Nick Weller and Luke Sparks, the founders of Dixons Trinity Academy. Dixons Trinity was the first secondary free school to be judged Outstanding by OFSTED and is a top 3 performer nationally for Progress 8. Come and hear how they achieved this! Some Start-up Schools attendees want to push their thinking about what schools can achieve; some are keen to be part of the founding teams of new schools; others are actively preparing to submit free school applications.
