Welcome to
Djanogly City Academy
I hope that as you explore our website, you get a real flavour of the unique culture and strong ethos that exists within our school.
Our aim is very simple. We want every Scholar that attends our school to leave us with a wide choice of life destinations and career paths, intent on making a positive difference to our world.
The determination of staff and governors to achieve this goal is very strong and is based on a simple but direct strategy-
Everybody Graduates.
