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

Our Year 12 biologists got hands-on with a salmon gill dissection last week, bringing exchange surfaces to life for their A level studies. By observing and drawing the gills, students explored how specialised structures maximise oxygen uptake, sparking great discussion on counter-current flow and ventilation.

Our Year 12 students enjoyed an informative visit to Ramsdens HQ.
They explored a range of departments, learned about different career pathways, gained valuable advice on applications, and developed practical skills in identifying gold and silver hallmarks. The highlight of the visit was meeting the CEO and hearing first-hand insights into the business. A fantastic opportunity to experience the world of work in action.
