Macmillan Academy is an 11-19 school and sixth form in Middlesbrough. It is part of Endeavour Academies Trust. At Macmillan we believe in the transformative power of education for all of our young people. Our motto ‘inspiring students to succeed’ is at the heart of what we do; we want our students to achieve and succeed academically but we also want them to succeed personally. It is our aim to ensure that all students have access to a wide range of experiences so that they leave us as well-qualified, well-rounded young people ready to make their mark on the world.
Alongside our students our staff are our greatest asset. Staff retention is exceptionally high and staff wellbeing is a priority for leaders at the academy. We have staff who always ‘go the extra mile’ for students and are always supportive of each other. We have a comprehensive training programme so that all staff can develop in their time with us.

Our next Artist of the Week is Yusha in Year 8. Yusha created a vibrant abstract artwork inspired by Matisse for his homework task.
He used masking tape to define window lines, creating a bold contrast with his colourful painting. Fantastic work, Yusha.

Both Year 7 football teams have been in action recently. In their final games before Christmas, the A Team secured a thrilling 4–3 win against Acklam, while the B Team earned a hard-fought 2–2 draw.
Last Thursday, both teams faced Trinity. The A Team played out an entertaining 3–3 draw in a match played in great spirit, while the B Team battled well against a strong Trinity side. Well done to all players involved.
