About Mulberry Academy Shoreditch

Mulberry Academy Shoreditch is a popular choice among local families, with 101 first-preference applications for its 137 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 2.65 applications for every available spot, a clear signal of its standing in Tower Hamlets. The school is officially oversubscribed, and of the 363 total applications received, 101 were first-preference offers, suggesting strong parent confidence. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, but inspectors awarded Outstanding grades for personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. That combination of strong leadership and a focus on character and conduct is likely a key draw for parents. The school also has a dedicated sixth form centre, making it an option for families looking for a through-school experience from age 11 to 19.
