Mossbourne Herd Lane Academy (MHLA)
Mossbourne Herd Lane Academy is a ‘Good’ school with a strong heritage at the heart of its community, where many families—and indeed some staff—have longstanding connections with the school. This sense of belonging underpins our shared ambition for every child to “Be the Best that they Can Be.” Through an inclusive and aspirational curriculum, our experienced and committed team secures strong outcomes while preparing pupils confidently for secondary education and beyond. Our specialist speech and language provision and wide range of enrichment opportunities are central to the rich offer we provide.
We pride ourselves on a safe, secure and inclusive environment where every child is supported to achieve and thrive. From Nursery to Year 6, staff are united in ensuring that each pupil receives what they need to succeed, through high-quality teaching, strong pastoral care and a nurturing ethos.
Our curriculum combines carefully sequenced, knowledge-rich learning with memorable experiences that bring learning to life. A clear focus on reading, writing and oracy, alongside a wealth of clubs, trips and opportunities for leadership and responsibility, ensures that children develop beyond the academic. As a result, pupils leave Herd Lane as confident, well-rounded individuals, ready for the next stage of their education.
