We exist to inspire all students to excel to provide the children of Hackney with a better school and higher standards Success is available to every single student who is prepared to work for it Mossbourne Community Academy exists to enable all pupils to realise their full potential and inspire them to excel.
Such was the vision and passion of the late Sir Clive Bourne, who firmly believed that all children must be given the opportunity to succeed, regardless of background or circumstance.
Founding Mossbourne Community Academy in 2004, Sir Clive Bourne made it his mission to provide Hackney children a world-class education and drive the standards of educational provision in the borough. Staff and pupils of Mossbourne Community Academy have maintained the gold standard of provision and attainment year on year since its inception.
The academy has redefined national expectations of what is possible to achieve in an inner-city, non-selective academy – from the two 'Outstanding' OFSTED judgments and headline-grabbing exam results, all the way through to students annually gaining places at Oxbridge, Russell Group Universities, MIT and other world-renowned universities.
