ary Astell Academy is an alternative provision academy within Prosper Learning Trust which provides education to pupils from ages 11 to 16. We serve children from the City of Newcastle who are referred to us by the local authority having been permanently excluded from a mainstream school.

We support our students to access a full-time, broad and balanced education appropriate to their potential and their educational needs and encourage their reintegration. Mary Astell Academy is based upon values which include giving young people a fresh start and our ultimate aim is to always to provide an opportunity to return to mainstream education.  In instances where this is not possible, we continually endeavour to provide a curriculum which provides equality of opportunity which mirrors that of a mainstream education.
