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

In the final week of term, 60 students were treated to a private cinema screening of the blockbuster film Zootopia 2. This special event gave students a fantastic morning off timetable to celebrate their hard work this term.
The trip was part of our Ready to Learn initiative, rewarding those who consistently demonstrated an excellent attitude. One student from each tutor group across all year groups was selected—an outstanding achievement.
