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.
Follow us on our social media to stay up to date with all the exciting things that are going on within our academy.
At the end of each term, our Heads of Year bring their year groups together for a special assembly to celebrate achievements.
Last Friday marked the first of these events, with Year 8 taking time to recognise success, attendance, and a range of special awards.
Well done to the entire year group, and a special shout-out to those who earned:
Student of the Lesson
Achievement Points
Ready to Learn Awards

Keep up the fantastic work, Year 8!
