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

67 students had an incredible Easter trip to Benalmádena, Spain for a football and netball festival! With fantastic weather and a 5 star beachfront hotel, students trained daily, competed in tough tournaments, and enjoyed experiences like a dolphin-spotting catamaran cruise. A huge well done to our U15 girls’ football team, who won every game to become festival champions! A brilliant trip filled with sport, sunshine, and great memories. Thank you to the staff who made it possible.
