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

Good luck to our U13 and U15 girls’ cricket teams as they travel to Bolton for the ECB North Indoor Finals.
The U13s (Years 7 and 8) play on Wednesday, with the U15s (Years 9 and 10) competing on Thursday.
This is the first time in the academy’s history that both teams have qualified, placing them among the top 8 teams in the North of England. Our U15s also reached the finals 2 years ago, narrowly losing 2 games and drawing a third.
An amazing achievement and a fantastic opportunity for both teams.
