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.
Every day counts. Your future depends on the days you show up today! Students who had 95% attendance or above last year beat their target grades.

Our U13 A and B boys` cricket teams kicked off their Middlesbrough Schools indoor league campaign at UCA last night. Both teams impressed with their attitude and sportsmanship.
The B team put in a strong first-ever performance, bowling just four wides and showing real promise with the bat, including Amaar’s 11* and Tommy’s first competitive six.
The A team followed with excellent bowling and fielding, restricting UCA to 56 thanks to wickets from Devon and Sayed and two great catches from Sam. Steady batting from Freddie (15 retired), Sam, Muhammad and Rahim saw us home with eight balls to spare. A brilliant start to the season from all involved.

We were fortunate to take part in the No Child Left Behind campaign, which allowed us to bring a group of our students on a full-board adventure residential.
We took 20 students in total, and for some, it was their first ever residential – and they absolutely loved the experience.

Later in the day, Steve led a creative writing workshop with a group of specially selected students, helping them develop and refine their storytelling skills. A brilliant day full of creativity and inspiration!
