Poverty Proofing

Mary Astell Academy recently had a Poverty Proofing review from Children North East. This compliments the original report we received in April 2023.

The report reflects the hard work that goes into ensuring we do all we can to Poverty Proof at MAA and ensure a positive impact for all of our pupils.

Some quotes from the report:

"Staff and leaders go above and beyond in their care for students who face a number of challenges."

"Students involved in this conversation responded positively and we noticed the autonomy they had when it came to deciding on the team."

Thank you to all of the staff and pupils involved.  We are very proud of this report!
