Dixons Newall Green Academy

Due to the power outage at the academy, we have taken the advice to close the school today. The academy will be open tomorrow and all students are expected to attend as normal. Thank you for your continued support

Ben Ashcroft

Assistant Principal

Ben joined Dixons in 2015, serving as a Head of Year and Head of Humanities at Dixons McMillan Academy, one of our highly successful free schools in Bradford. 

In 2021 he moved to Dixons Fazakerley Academy, the founding member of the North West hub. Ben was part of the leadership team who worked on the turnaround journey, seeing the academy transformed and out of special measures. 

Now, as an Assistant Principal at Dixons Newall Green, Ben considers himself incredibly fortunate to serve the Wythenshawe community and their amazing young people. He hopes to build a school community where everyone feels valued and appreciated.
