Mossbourne Federation is the realisation of Sir Clive Bourne’s dream to provide the children of Hackney with an outstanding education. Built on a formula of high expectations, doing the simple things right, and the belief that all children can succeed, Mossbourne offers an environment where all learners, regardless of ability, benefit from innovative and enlightened approaches to teaching and learning. Our calm working atmosphere creates well-rounded individuals who excel in the arts, on the sporting field, and academically.
In 2025, our 20th anniversary year, we are delighted to have expanded to include three Thurrock schools in our Federation. We now consist of seven academies:
Mossbourne Community Academy (MCA) secondary and sixth form, Hackney
Mossbourne Fobbing Academy (MFA) secondary and sixth form, Thurrock
Mossbourne Herd Lane Academy (MHLA) primary, Thurrock
Mossbourne Parkside Academy (MPA) primary, Hackney
Mossbourne Port Side Academy (MPSA) secondary, Thurrock
Mossbourne Riverside Academy (MRA) primary, Hackney
Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy (MVPA) secondary, Hackney
You will have familiarity of working with young people exhibiting challenging behaviour, many of whom may be disaffected with school and lack motivation and aspiration. You will also have significant experience of working with students on the SEND Register. You will have high expectations regarding attendance, punctuality and respect for others, a no-nonsense approach to student behaviour but the ability to be flexible to meet the students’ needs, and a commitment towards motivating this small group of students to achieve. The successful applicant will be committed to improving the life opportunities of these young adults. It is imperative that the ethos of the Academy is upheld within the Alternative Provision. You will be self- motivated to seek out opportunities to contribute to the main body of the Academy and should the APC not have students in it or have a reduced number of students in it then you will be expected to further support students in the main body of the academy demonstrating challenging behaviours.
