Principal Message
Here at Macmillan Academy,
where we have some 350 Post-16
students, our aim is to actively
help you, in a friendly and
welcoming learning and social
environment, to equip yourself
with everything you need to make
a smooth transition from Further
Education to either Higher
Education at university or directly
into employment.
At the end of your Post-16 time here, you will
have been given every opportunity to achieve:
- sound educational qualifications
- excellent references
- self-motivation and flexibility
- a mature attitude and approach to life
- a determination to succeed
- pride in your personal appearance
- a portfolio of evidence of your involvement in a wide range of activities.
You will find that we pay close attention to every student's individual needs and that personal mentoring is one of our top priorities.
We believe that the range and variety of courses
we offer are among the best in the north. Every
student on a Post-16 course at Macmillan
Academy is regarded as and treated as an
individual young adult in caring, supportive and
technologically rich surroundings. You will never
be more than a question away from help which
is always readily available from your personal or
academic tutors. The size of our Post-16 group
allows us to be large enough to offer the variety
of courses we do yet small enough to give every
student individual care and attention. Any
additional information you may want about the
Post-16 courses at Macmillan Academy is
available to you on our Internet web page.
If you are applying from outside of Macmillan Academy for a place here, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Jordan, Head of Post-16 education, on 01642 352790.
Similarly, if you would like to visit the Academy, please make an appointment through him for a date and time.
I look forward to meeting you and to welcoming
you, personally, into our Post-16 community.
K U Fraser, Principal
