Staff and students at Macmillan Academy are celebrating another set of excellent Post 16 results.

The average points score per student was 328 UCAS points with an A Level pass rate of 98%. These results are a reflection of the hard work of students and dedication of Post 16 teaching and support staff at the academy.

Once again many students have been successful in reaching their first choice destinations. Students are going to universities far and wide, from the local universities of Teesside, Northumbria and Durham to those further afield such as Chester, Central Lancashire, Keele, Kent and Greenwich. Equally, students have opted to study a real range of courses including accounting and finance, performance, costume design, engineering, nursing, teaching as well as the more traditional subjects.

Alongside those students going to university, it is pleasing that in such a competitive labour market, several students have gained employment and apprenticeships.

Whilst the Academy is proud of the achievements of all students, there were some exceptional individual results. George Mitchell gained A*s in all of his subjects (Mathematics, Further Mathematics and the Extended Engineering diploma). He is now going to study Mathematics at The University of Newcastle. Matthew Sonley and Georgia Gilbert will both be going to study Medicine.

Furthermore the following achieved A* or A grades in at least 3 subjects: Bethany Williamson, Thomas Baxter, Natasha Connor, Samuel Styan, Evie Billon and Saira Akhter.

Students following vocational courses also achieved impressive results with the following gaining the highest grades available in their chosen courses: Jordan Davey, Robert Ellis, Kasim Iqbal, Wasif Mahmood, Fahreen Tariq, Chloe Goodchild, Jessica Walker and Sam Hopson.
