Story

Mossbourne Community Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located near Hackney Downs off the A104 road, in the Lower Clapton area of the London Borough of Hackney in England.The school was first opened in 2004 on the site of the former Hackney Downs School. The site had been purchased by Sir Clive Bourne who founded the school as one of the first 'City Academies' in England. Bourne commissioned the Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners to design the new school buildings, and the first principal of the school was Michael Wilshaw, who left the school to become Chief Inspector of Schools In England and head of Ofsted in January 2012.Since its opening Mossbourne Community Academy has been regularly lauded as one of the top performing inner city schools in England, and used as an example of the success of the academy model for schools in general. The current head of the school is Peter Hughes, who is a previous participant in the Future Leaders programme.

Reviews
This school is focused on breeding students with absolutely low self esteem and no self worth because of the complete lack of respect and compassion received from any teachers. All the teachers seem like they get off from abusing their authority and causing mental health for student.
As many have said before this school is really strict. The education is amazing, but for those who can bear all the bs. The teachers give detentions for small and random things, like tripping, laughing, smiling etc. They simply don't want you to be happy. My Head of Year even admitted it. There used to be great teachers, but the school took them all to the new school Victoria Park and replaced them with new ones who had no idea what they were doing and simply wanted to pander to their bosses. Those new teachers thus started dishing out pointless detentions left, right and centre. They squeezed lunch times to 1 hour instead of 2, forced children to eat quickly and actively promoted not talking to your friends or being around them. Detentions were sometimes 3 hours long and simply served to waste your time. The school wanted to keep you in for as long as possible. Some detentions were in the mornings, some on Saturdays. They had this thing called the LSU which is essentially you spending the whole day in a container. I passed out twice in the middle of the night trying to do the homeworks they gave, which were way too much. I was told to do 3 exam papers in 2 hours! If you want your child to have a great education, go ahead, put them here. If you don't believe that they can stay sane during it, or are mentally weaker, then I suggest not. The teachers are out there to shout and scream at you and embarrass you in front of the whole school. I've seen many girls cut themselves from all the stress in their lives which the school did nothing to help with.
The Learning Center and the teachers in the learning center are good and the school principal is nice but lots of things are unfair and not really satisfying especially for Children with Autism and the Year 7s who started. Like I think year 7s should get second chances for the first few weeks because they don't understand the school properly. Also with the ones that have autism should also get a second chance most of the time because sometimes they can't help it and have a difficulty. Some things that are unfair that you get in trouble for are Parent forgetting to sign child's planner, Accidentally doing something silly and not able to have certain haircuts. Also like every teacher says quickly!, Hurry Up! Or Move It!. But what if you have a bad leg? They force you to go quick. I think the school should be less strict and more helpful to the pupils in year 7 and the pupils that have autism or learning difficulties.
I was one of the first students in this school when it opened in 2004. They were very strict but as I look back now it was all for a great cause. We all had amazing grades and are now doing very well with our lives. I'm so proud of their program that I have send my daughter to the mossbourbe riverside.
They never answer their phones. Then if you write to them, you get a generic message back that says "Please note that this account is not monitored daily and is for general enquiries only ... to ensure safe management of our communications with parents and carers, we would ask that you please contact the academy via telephone." If they can't even get contacting them right, what else are they bad at?
THIS SCHOOL SUCKS SO BAD. ITS prison, i went to sixth form here and ever since i wanted to leave. The lessons are so Lackluster so pointless that you fall asleep. Way too strict and Intense are we in a school or are we in a miltary boarding school ask your self that. The students are terrible all they do is judge and judge when there not even perfect themselves,what the point of even making friends when they don't even help you they just tell you what to do.sometimes even annoy you.Making friends in Mossbourne IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS.There not a lot of activites so you get tired quick. The teachers treat you as if you have no soul no life they shout at you for even the dumbest things like making a mistake or informing someone what they should do if there stuck. Overall the experience is lackluster and an experience i would rather forget.sigh Just another forgettable experience.By the Sixth form is even worse than Lower school
Man said you can't chill wid your boys Man said no touching Man said it's a military school Man said it's a boarding school Man said your child would come out as a soldier for WWIII Man said the headteacher looks like a hit man Honestly this school is a joke
I just read Jawad's review. I haven't laughed out loud for a long time - Thank you for posting your review!
personally i did not enjoy or gain much from my time in Mossbourne. I believe that the school is too strict on it's students and that the rule's were to harsh for us who went to Mossbourne.
Petchey boys and mossborne boys are fighting after school. More teachers need to come out and look after the kids. This is dangerous.
