Inspiring Every Student to Succeed

Welcome

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.

Students from Macmillan and Archibald joined schools nationwide in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate Schools Programme. This year, they performed Macbeth—a powerful story of ambition and fate—at Playmaking Festivals across the country. The project offered a transformative experience, helping students grow in confidence, creativity, and teamwork while exploring Shakespeare’s work as professional actors do.

This week’s Recognition Wall is shining the spotlight - quite literally - on our incredible drama students and staff!
This is truly their term:
Live performance exam pieces are now complete
Lessons have been nothing short of inspiring
And of course, the school production is set to be a  showstopper!
Behind the scenes and on stage, our students have shown outstanding creativity, confidence, and commitment. From Year 7 all the way to A Level, they’ve embraced every challenge and brought energy and passion to every performance.
It’s easy to forget that, alongside all this, the drama team also delivers engaging lessons across Key Stage 3, GCSE, and A Level—supporting students at every stage of their journey.
A huge well done to all the students recognised on the R&R Wall this week - you’ve truly earned your moment in the spotlight!
