Mossbourne Community Academy
About Mossbourne Community Academy
Mossbourne Community Academy sits in the Hackney local authority, one of only five secondary schools in the borough to hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating out of 18 state secondaries. It ranks second among its local peers, just behind Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy and ahead of Waterside Academy, according to the most recent available ranking scores. The school is also the nearest Outstanding-rated secondary to its own postcode, within 0.2 kilometres. Headteacher Rebecca Warren leads a large mixed 11-18 academy with 1,350 pupils, and the school’s most recent full graded inspection in September 2021 confirmed its Outstanding status across the board — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision all received the top grade. Personal development was rated Good, the only category not at Outstanding. The school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2010, when overall effectiveness, sixth-form provision, and leadership and management were also graded 1.
