In the Summer of 2015, Mascalls became a member of the Leigh Academies Trust and Stuart Reeves, headteacher at the time was promoted to LAT Executive Director of the West Kent cluster of Academies.
Mascalls Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils. Students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.

Mascalls Gallery
Mascalls Gallery is a public art gallery which opened in 2006 on the site of Mascalls Academy. It was originally curated by Nathaniel Hepburn; in 2014 he was succeeded by Rebecca Hone. It has a frequently changing programme of exhibitions featuring national and internationally known artists. These have included Henry Moore, L. S. Lowry, Graham Sutherland and Lee Miller as well as artists from Latin America, Japan and America. In 2010, Mascalls Gallery exhibited for the first time in the UK drawings by Marc Chagall for nearby Tudeley Church. An exhibition of watercolour paintings by Roland Collins led to further exhibitions in London, raising the artist's profile.
