About Dixons Broadgreen Academy

Dixons Broadgreen Academy received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, but the picture is more nuanced than that single label suggests. The school was not judged on overall effectiveness in that inspection, and the breakdown shows strengths in several areas: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all rated Good, while the sixth form provision was also judged Good. The quality of education was the area identified as requiring improvement. This marks a significant shift from the school's previous graded inspection in 2018, when it was rated Inadequate across the board. On the most informative exam metric, the school's Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year was -0.57, which is below the Liverpool local authority average of -0.4 and places the school in the bottom half of schools nationally, ranked 19th out of 30 secondary schools in Liverpool.
