Join Mossbourne Port Side Academy – A Community of Excellence

At Mossbourne Port Side Academy, we are committed to nurturing ambition, inspiring curiosity, and ensuring our students thrive in an environment dedicated to high expectations and achievement. As part of the Mossbourne Federation, we are driven by the belief that every child deserves a world-class education, and we work relentlessly to make that a reality.

Why Mossbourne Port Side Academy?

MPSA is a vibrant and supportive secondary school for students aged 11-16, where each child is known, valued, and guided to reach their full potential. Our smaller school size enables us to foster strong relationships while delivering a broad and ambitious curriculum, ensuring students leave as responsible, respectful citizens equipped to embrace the opportunities of the future.

The Mossbourne Ethos

The Mossbourne Federation is the realisation of Sir Clive Bourne's vision to provide Hackney's children with an outstanding education. For over twenty years, the Federation has nurtured this dream by fostering kind, courteous, and ambitious learners through our core values. Our calm, purposeful learning environment enables students to excel academically, artistically, and athletically.
