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 Year 12 Criminology students recently put their investigative skills to the test during a fantastic Crime Scene Investigation Day at Teesside University!
The hands-on experience gave students a real insight into the world of forensic investigation and the exciting career opportunities available within criminology and criminal justice. It was a brilliant opportunity to explore potential future pathways and learn from industry experts.
Thank you to Teesside University for hosting such an engaging and inspiring event.

Our latest fantastic artist of the week is Dina in Year 7.
This is a homework task we set our Year 7s after learning about shade and tone. Dina has been realistic and careful and used her knowledge of tone to build up the details in this portrait.
We think she has done a fantastic job!

The Year 8 football teams have been in action again. Last week the A squad played twice. They had a fantastic away win at Dyke House by 6 goals to 4 in the National Cup.
Then two days later had a league game away to Acklam Grange losing out by 2 goals to 1 conceding in the dying seconds of the game.
And this week The B Team got their National Cup campaign off to a great start with a thrilling 5-4 victory against Thirsk School. Well done to both squads of players.

A group of our students recently visited Beamish Museum to record this year’s annual Remembrance broadcast.
The film forms part of our PSHE programme. Students and staff across the academy will watch it together as we pause to remember all those who have lost their lives in war and conflict.
Thank you to Beamish Museum for hosting us, and well done to everyone involved for approaching this project with such care and respect.
