About Stoke Newington School
Stoke Newington School is a mixed, state secondary for 11 to 16 year olds in the London borough of Hackney, led by headteacher Annie Gammon. It sits within a competitive local landscape: Hackney has 18 secondary schools, five of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The nearest of those is Mossbourne Community Academy, just 1.5 kilometres away, which also ranks as the second highest-performing school in the area with a ranking score of 1.47. The top-ranked local peer is Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy (score 1.54), followed by Waterside Academy (1.04). Stoke Newington School itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, placing it in the solid middle tier of Hackney’s secondaries. With 950 pupils on roll, it is a reasonably sized school that serves a diverse urban community. Its location in the heart of Hackney means families are weighing it against some very strong nearby options, but its own consistent Good rating gives it a credible place in the conversation.
