Our Community Hub

Here to support families and the wider community.

Welcome to our Community Hub.  The hub consists of a dedicated community room, the use of a sports hall and outdoor areas, including a multi games area and large sports field.  Although the space is part of Dukesgate Academy, it aims to serve both the school and wider community and to reach people of all ages.

We know that communities are strongest together and this forms a central part of our hub ethos.  We are committed to building positive relationships with the community the hub serves and to enabling community members to act on things that they care about.  

Our aims are to:

• Help our local community lead healthier, happier and better-connected lives.
• Reduce isolation among our parents/carers and the wider community.
• Offer a safe and supportive environment, in which local residents can thrive.
• Promote change driven by both the school and the  community.
• Provide  opportunities  for community members to get involved, participate, volunteer, learn and to develop their skills and talents.
• to improve social community cohesion.

The Dukesgate Community Hub is run by our Community Development Officer: Judith Richens who can be contacted on the following e mail address: communityhub@dukesgate.co.uk

Have Your say

Community voice is very important to us.  We regularly sample the views and opinions of the community to be sure that we focus on the things that matter to you.  Look out for the monthly community newsletter and follow the school on social media to see what we are currently working on, events that are coming up or things you can get involved in.  

What's On ?

These activities are regular activities.  To book a place either use the Arbor App (for families of the school) or  email the community hub lead to reserve a place (for wider community members).
