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.
Year 7 and 8 students took part in an exciting and thought-provoking session from the STEM Roadshow, delivered by BAE Systems, the Royal Air Force, and the Royal Navy.
This year’s theme focused on Artificial Intelligence and the future of careers in STEM. Students explored how AI is transforming industries — from robotics to defence — and were introduced to Lexi, the AI-powered robot dog!
The presentation also sparked important conversations about the responsible use of AI, including how it should be used morally and carefully, particularly when it comes to sharing personal data and making ethical decisions.
Alongside technology, the roadshow emphasised the importance of human skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, which are essential for future success in any career.
A huge thank you to BAE Systems, the RAF, and the Royal Navy for inspiring our students and giving them a glimpse into the future!
