Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy is a coeducational secondary school located in the Victoria Park area of London, England, facing Well Street Common.
It is the second school to be named under Mossbourne Academy.[1] The school was created in 2014: the building formerly used by Cardinal Pole Roman Catholic School was first built to drawings by Robert Lewis Roumieu for the French Hospital (La Providence), which opened there in 1865.[2] In the summer of 2019 the first cohort's GCSE results placed the academy in the top 65 schools in England for student progress. The headteacher is Matthew Toothe.
, the school's most recent inspection by Ofsted was in 2023, with a judgement of Outstanding.[3]
The school has two buildings: the Huguenot building and the Carroll building which is new and was officially opened in January 2015.
The school approaches its behavioural policy in regards to a 'no excuses' attitude. Each student is required to repeat the academy reflection before each lesson. It is as follows:
"Throughout this lesson I aspire to maintain an inquiring mind, a calm disposition and an attentive ear, so that in this class and all classes, I can fulfil my true potential."
In November 2024, The Observer reported that parents and teachers have spoken out about the school's behavioural policies, saying that children's mental health has been damaged by "teachers humiliating and "screaming" at pupils".[4] Parents said that there had been five cases of children "with no prior incontinence issues soiling themselves, or menstruating through their uniforms, because they were not allowed to go to the toilet or were too scared to ask".[4] They described children who had become anxious or depressed as a result of their school experiences, and asked that Hackney local authority carry out a safeguarding review.[4] Leaders at the school said that "We were saddened to read these accounts as we do not recognise the characterisation of the school".[4]
