When our school first opened in 1989 as Macmillan College, central to the ethos of this new organisation
was a close working relationship between education and business.
Through this relationship, students would eventually leave the school with a good understanding of the potential careers they could have and would also have the skills to be able to successfully enter the job market.
Macmillan Academy continues to support our students to make well informed decisions by providing access to impartial and blended CEIAG through the curriculum, enrichments and off site activities. It is a whole school vision to prepare students for the readiness of the working world and to forge links with parents, families and the local community. The academy provides all of our students with an excellent package of careers education that prepares them to achieve success in the next stage of their lives beyond our school. Beginning in Year 7 and going right through to the end of Year 13, our students access a wide range of guidance and support that ensures they are ready for the challenges of further study or the world of work.

and apprenticeships.
We are indebted to all the businesses, organisations and colleges who give their time so generously to support our students.
