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.
Key Reminders:
· Wear your tie: It`s a key part of our uniform and shows you are part of the Macmillan Academy community.
· Blazers on: Keep your blazers on during school hours to maintain a smart appearance. Students will be allowed to carry their blazers when it gets too warm.
· No coats or tracksuit tops: These should not be worn instead of blazers.
Why is our uniform important?
Respect: Wearing the uniform is a sign of respect to our Macmillan community.
Readiness to learn: Being smartly dressed shows you are prepared and ready to engage in your studies.
Equality: Ensuring everyone follows the same standards helps maintain a sense of equality and community.
Let`s all make a collective effort to uphold our uniform standards without needing reminders from staff. Together, we can create a positive and respectful learning environment.
