Welcome to Mossbourne Parkside Academy

Welcome to Mossbourne Parkside Academy,

This academy has stood on these foundations, serving the children of Hackney Downs, for over 120 years. We are a school of the community, for the community, and are very proud of our history and background in the East End of London. The school has changed name and appearance over the years, and even survived devastating bombing during the Blitz- but throughout all of this, it has remained a cornerstone of local area. We take pride in serving our diverse and vibrant families as a part of the Mossbourne Federation.

Mossbourne Parkside Academy is one of a group of academies arising from the realization of Sir Clive Bourne’s dream to provide the children of Hackney with an outstanding education. Mossbourne Parkside Academy follows a formula of high expectations, doing the simple things right, and holds the belief that all children can succeed. Our calm working atmosphere helps to create well-rounded pupils who excel academically, in the arts, and on the sporting field.

I am honoured to be the Head of School to such a warm, lively and aspirational group of children, and I look forward to welcoming you to the academy in the near future.

Ms M Kelly, Head of School
