Spring is in the air: the time of year we realise just how great the great outdoors is. No matter the season, at Dixie we believe students thrive when they’re out in the elements. Whether it’s lighting fires in DOSE, trekking through the Peak District for DofE, or scoring on the school’s expansive games fields, we’ve always had a bit of an obsession with the great outdoors.
We believe that fresh air doesn’t just clear the lungs—it builds resilience, courage, and a love for the world around us. If you’d like to explore what we offer, come along to our Summer Open Morning on Saturday 9 May. Visit www.dixie.org.uk to book or call us on 01455 292244.
