Mountain Rescue

Mountain Support has a range of different functions, so please read through the information on here.

The Mountain Support team help all students to climb their mountain and to succeed at university or a real alternative by giving additional support to those who need it. We know that any student may require additional help at any point during their journey at Dixons Fazakerley Academy and that support may be temporary or long-term.
