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

Ethan took part in Sunday’s Remembrance service at the Cenotaph in Albert Park, Middlesbrough, joining the Army Cadet Force and other groups to honour those who lost their lives in conflict.
The service included a parade, two-minute silence, hymns and the laying of wreaths.
Ethan also helped with poppy collections at Eston Tesco, raising around £2,000 for the Royal British Legion over two days. A fantastic effort!

Today our school fell silent to remember.
This year our Drama students made an original film about the bombardment of Hartlepool on 16 December 1914 and one local family’s journey from that morning to Armistice Day in 1918. It was filmed at Beamish and shared with every student just before our two minutes’ silence.
Thank you to our Drama Department and the brilliant team at @BeamishMuseum for helping us bring history to life.

Macmillan Academy students joined the community at Middlesbrough’s Cenotaph today for the Laying of the First Poppy ceremony. A meaningful start to the town’s Acts of Remembrance, taking a moment to remember all those who served and sacrificed.

A fantastic win for our Year 11 football B team against Trinity on Friday evening!
For many in the squad, this was a chance to step up, with several GCSE PE students who don’t usually feature in the A team taking their opportunity and making it count.
George bagged two goals, with Charlie and Oscar also putting in great performances. Plenty of energy, teamwork and determination throughout. Well done, everyone!

30 of our Year 7 students enjoyed a trip to Vindolanda Roman site and the Roman Army Museum. They explored the excavated remains, got up close to Roman artefacts and even had a go at speaking Latin during an interactive lesson.
They were a real credit to the academy throughout the visit!

Year 9 have been creating sea creature drawings for their latest assessment, using white pencils to bring out the bright colours and finer details. Great work, Cayden!

Our students headed to Teesside University for a Trick or Treat Psychology Day. A chance to get involved in some hands-on activities, explore the subject beyond the classroom and see psychology in action. A great day with a spooky twist!

The Eco-Squad got into the autumn spirit with some pumpkin carving. Nothing went to waste, though. Our food technology department roasted the pumpkin seeds to make a tasty, nutritious snack. A great bit of creativity and sustainability in action.
