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.

Our writers took part in a brilliant workshop with the amazing Elle, who was impressed by the quality of their work. It was a joy to see their talent shine!
Opportunities like this are so valuable — they show our students that success in creative industries is possible and that their voices really matter.
Later, a small group joined Elle for an informal reading and Q&A, asking thoughtful questions and gaining real insight. Well done to all involved.

Work experience in sixth form plays such an important role in helping students make informed choices about their future careers. It’s a great way to build soft skills, boost confidence, and get a real feel for different job roles.
With opportunities harder to come by in the current climate, we were thrilled when Wates offered four placements to our Post 16 students. A huge thank you to the Wates team for organising such a valuable and insightful week — our students gained so much from it!
