About our Secondary Offering

Our vision for the academy is for all of our learners to achieve excellence.

We aim to provide students with an inspirational learning experience through which they can develop into confident, resilient young adults, with a drive to do the very best.

Our academy prides itself on its excellent pastoral care for all students, across all year groups. We celebrate the diversity of cultures, skills, abilities and interests of our students, recognising the individual contribution each one makes to our academy.

We believe in developing the strongest possible partnerships with our parents, our partner schools and our local community.

Dinnington High School is a vibrant and really inclusive school serving the town of Dinnington and many surrounding local villages. Student also cross the border from North Nottinghamshire to join us.

“Achieving excellence is the overriding ambition of our School and of our Trust. We place students at the centre of everything we do, creating a culture of success and a love of learning which enhances students’ achievements and their personal, social and emotional wellbeing.”

To fulfil this vision, we aim to inspire all our students at Dinnington High School, to grow their confidence, and to be the best they can be. At our heart, we aim to fulfil our Dinnington Way values every day: kindness, respect, excellence.

We pride ourselves on our school being a community based on strong relationships. We know our students well and value great relationships with our parents and carers.

By the end of their time as Dinnington High School students, every child has had opportunities to gather many happy memories, to have challenged themselves to be the best they can be, and to have lived and breathed the Dinnington Way: kindness, respect, and excellence.
