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.
We are excited to confirm that the academy show will take place on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of July.

Another great weekend out in the wild for our DofE Bronze participants!
10 students took on the challenge of hiking from Pinchinthorpe to Clay Bank, with an overnight camp in Kildale. They navigated brilliantly, worked as a team, and kept spirits high throughout!
With this expedition, we’re well on our way—around 125 students will have completed the programme by the time it wraps up in June. Incredible effort all round!

The second cup final soon followed on the Friday afternoon against Nunthorpe in the Town Cup Final where we had chance to complete the cup double. With a strong squad of 15 players the Macmillan team showed they were determined to end the season on a high. Every player performed well and they delivered an incredible display from start to finish. 3 goals from Kameel R, 2 from Carlin A, and one each from Jayden B, Ali I and Beryl D meant that Macmillan took the victory by 8 goals to nil. It was an incredible display against a good Nunthorpe side. Well done to each and every player on a stunning performance and congratulations on the double cup victory !
