Dixons Croxteth Academy (formally The De La Salle Academy) is a co-educational secondary school in the Croxteth area of Liverpool, England, with no formal faith affiliation. [1]

Contents

Until 2022 it was a Catholic school for boys.

History

Grammar school

It was known as the De La Salle Grammar School until 1983 and was originally based on Breckfield Road South in Everton. The new school site is that of the former Central School, and was rebuilt in 1954. By the 1960s, it had around 700 boys.[ citation needed ]

Comprehensive

In 1983, the school became De La Salle RC Comprehensive School. [2] It amalgamated with four other catholic schools in 1988. The school was founded by the De La Salle brothers, who engaged with the day-to-day running of the school.[ citation needed ]

In 2004, the school gained specialist school status and became the De La Salle Humanities College, specialising in English, Geography and History. [2]

Academy

The school gained academy status in January 2011, to become The De La Salle Academy.

In 2021, the school was issued with a warning notice after two inadequate Ofsted reports. [3] Its future was secured following a campaign by staff, students and governors including the local MP Ian Byrne. [4] [5]

Under Dixons Academy Trust

In November 2022, the school joined the Dixons Academies Trust [6] and was renamed Dixons Croxteth Academy [7]

The school then became co-educational, with no formal faith affiliation.
