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

Year 12 and Year 9 students recently worked together during a morning session focused on careers and interactive teamwork activities. Communication and supporting one another were key as students took part in a range of practical challenges.
The session helped build confidence, collaboration, and leadership skills across both year groups. Thank you to the Royal Navy for providing such a valuable opportunity.

The Y7 A team faced Outwood Acklam in their latest league game. In bitterly cold conditions the lads played some very good football against a determined Outwood team.
With the help of a strong squad of 14 players Macmillan were rewarded with a comprehensive win with goals from Theo (5) Archie (4) and Oscar (2).
Very well done to all the players.

Last Tuesday, we were delighted to give Year 11 an extended break in recognition of the hard work and determination they showed throughout the final mock window. Over two challenging weeks, our students demonstrated focus, resilience, and real commitment — and they absolutely earned that well‑deserved time to relax and recharge.
We couldn’t be prouder of the effort you put in. Keep going — you’re achieving great things!

What a day for our U15 indoor cricket team!
We topped the group stages with brilliant performances against St Leonard’s, St Joseph’s, and Hetton — showing great teamwork, skill, and determination throughout.
In the final against English Martyrs, the team were simply outstanding. They bowled English Martyrs out for just 17 runs, taking 6 superb catches, before chasing the total down in under 2 overs!
A fantastic achievement from every player.
The team now progress to the Durham Finals in March — bring it on!

Year 10 students recently hosted an engaging Gopher Science lab day for Year 6 pupils, leading hands-on activities and demonstrations. From exploring how butterflies drink nectar to discovering why slugs and snails use slime, and learning why leaves change colour in autumn, it was a fantastic day of practical science, building knowledge, confidence, and communication skills across both year groups.
