Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy

At Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy (MVPA), we continue to build on the Federation’s ethos of exceptional education for all our students. With children at the heart of everything we do, MVPA continues to raise expectations and achievement in Hackney and its neighbouring boroughs, with the belief that all students can fulfil their true potential.

Our students’ progress at GCSE puts us in the top 10 schools nationally, and we believe there is more to do. Our staff deliver excellent lessons, and our students enjoy a vibrant curriculum programme and have access to debate, speech-making and presentation training through our oratory specialism. Our excellent teaching staff work in a rewarding environment where everyone pulls together for the same thing - the best possible deal for our students.

Set within the metropolitan borough of Hackney, MVPA is in close proximity to London Overground stations and a number of bus routes, providing a no-fuss commute for colleagues living in other London boroughs. London’s fashionable ‘East and West Ends’, are only a short distance away.

The Mossbourne Federation

The Mossbourne Federation is a thriving network of Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form academies providing the children of Hackney and Thurrock with an outstanding education from Early Years to Post-16. We deliver the highest quality of teaching and learning across a broad curriculum, underpinned by high expectations for every student and by our Federation values of: ‘Excellence’, ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Unity’. Our staff strive towards a common goal: being the best we can be, ensuring every pupil, every teacher, and every member of staff, fulfils their potential. We value continuous improvement, are always learning, and we are always looking for a better way to do things. We are a supportive family that shares experiences, knowledge, and ideas in an environment that welcomes input and challenge.

Mossbourne Federation staff know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We do not discriminate in recruitment or during employment based on any protected characteristic or aspect of individual identity. We have committed to being an Anti-Racist organisation, and we welcome individuals with the ethos and energy to help us achieve this goal. We actively reject discrimination in our academies through continuous review of our working policies and practices across the federation, including at board level. We are committed to developing and supporting inclusivity, diversity, and anti-racism in every facet of what we do.

The Mossbourne Ethos

The Mossbourne Federation is the realisation of Sir Clive Bourne’s dream to provide the children of Hackney with an outstanding education. Since 2004, the Federation has nurtured Sir Clive’s dream by fostering kind, courteous, hard-working, and well-rounded learners by providing an outstanding education based on the core values of ‘Excellence’, ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Unity’. Through upholding these core values, Mossbourne’s London schools have built a reputation for being, without exception, exceptional.

We are delighted that on 1st January 2025, Mossbourne expanded to include three new academies in Thurrock, Essex.

The Federation’s calm working atmosphere creates well-rounded individuals who excel in the arts, on the sporting field and academically. All learners, regardless of ability, benefit from the innovative and enlightened approaches to teaching and learning within The Mossbourne Federation.
