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.

Congratulations to our Artist of the Week, Lucas M in Year 9.
Year 9 students have been creating artwork and a decorative frame inspired by a well-known contemporary artist. Lucas chose Yayoi Kusama, whose work is celebrated for its iconic polka dots and surreal natural imagery.
Lucas has shown great care in his colour choices, decorative details and portraiture, producing a striking final piece. We think he has done a fantastic job, well done Lucas!

Reading regularly over the summer is one of the simplest ways to boost your child’s confidence, vocabulary, and readiness for the next school year. This parent-focused session is hosted by Educake and led by Kathryn Taylor, Schools Development Manager at Chapter One. Kathryn will share easy, realistic strategies to help children enjoy reading on their own during the holidays.
She will explore why independent reading matters, how to motivate reluctant readers, and ways to build small, positive reading habits into everyday life. You will also hear suggestions for choosing engaging books, using free resources, and supporting your child’s transition to the next school year through stories and conversations at home.
Chapter One is a registered charity that works with schools across the UK to strengthen early reading and build children’s confidence as independent readers. The charity is officially partnered with the Department for Education National Year of Reading, and Kathryn is also a trained Red Cross mental health champion, bringing valuable expertise in supporting children’s wellbeing alongside their reading development.
The webinar will also include a live Q&A, which gives parents an opportunity to send any questions they might have.
We know parents are incredibly busy, if you can’t make this exact time, register anyway and we will send the recording direct to your inbox to watch at a time that is more convenient.
