Read about the latest developments around the academy below...
When the academy was set up just over 30 years, it had the following three aims:
We have high expectations of all of our students and they achieve great things whilst they are with us.
We place an emphasis on academic success and personal development.
It is equally important for us that when students leave us they do so as well-rounded young people who are
kind and considerate of others.
"Macmillan Academy seeks to provide an education which is motivational, meaningful and memorable, and it is successful in doing so.
Its motto, ‘inspiring every student to succeed’ is at the heart of everything the academy does."
Students will encounter a wide range of quality teaching and learning experiences.
Our students are exposed to diverse and distinctive experiences.
We want our students to be healthy and understand how to stay healthy.
Our students develop essential skills to prepare them for their lives beyond school.
