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.
Our history students had a fantastic day exploring the Victorian street, 1950s town and pit village, plus they took part in a brilliant “Call to War” WW1 workshop. From interviewing villagers to taking part in a light‑hearted drill, the day truly brought history to life.
They were an absolute credit to the academy! For the full story and a film clip from the visit, check out our website.

Over 90 students enjoyed the Spring Term Reward Trip recently at Hollywood Bowl at Teesside Park. Competition was fierce and the facilities of the venue were very much enjoyed by the students who earned an invitation by being awarded the highest number of ‘student of the lesson’ positive behaviour points in their year group this term. They were joined by others who had achieved a 100-day consecutive attendance streak – congratulations to all.

The very last day of term (April 2nd) saw the return of our popular Golden Ticket Day. Students were once again very eager to earn an on-the-spot golden ticket for demonstrating extraordinary effort. Across the day well over 300 students were awarded a golden ticket from many different members of staff for their efforts in lessons, towards attendance, showing progress or via a contribution they have made to the academy. At the end of the day students who had received a golden ticket were able to choose a reward of their choice, from Easter treats, to queue busters or entry into draws for bigger prizes. The day proved a fantastic way to start the Easter holiday.
