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.Â
Follow us on our social media to stay up to date with all the exciting things that are going on within our academy.
Year 8 students visited 3t Training Services for a morning, exploring careers and meeting employers from the renewable sector, learning about hydrogen, carbon capture, wind turbines and clean energy. It was fascinating to discover so many opportunities on Teesside.

We’re proud to partner with MCR Pathways to offer a life-changing mentoring programme.
What’s a mentor?
Someone who listens, encourages, and helps a young person unlock their potential — just one hour a week can make a huge difference.
Mentors come from all walks of life. When one person mentors, two lives are changed.
If you are Interested in becoming a mentor please email: l.pelling@macademy.org.uk

Our Year 10–12 Art and Textiles students visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park to explore work by world-renowned artists including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Damien Hirst. Highlights included James Turrell’s immersive Deer Shelter, William Kentridge’s Pull of Gravity exhibition, and Fashion Play by Lesley Barnes and Ross McAuley. Students sketched, discussed and reflected on the artwork before enjoying a sunny picnic overlooking Bretton Hall. We can’t wait to see how this inspiring trip influences their future work.
