The Mossbourne Mindset

Being part of Mossbourne Federation means joining a community that is unapologetic about having high standards and high expectations.

We pursue what we need to achieve excellence and live up to our highest potential, never shying away from ‘the elephant in the room’.

This is the Mossbourne Mindset we all share, keeping us working together to be truly exceptional:

  • We never stand still. We are always improving.  

  • We don’t accept ‘good enough’. We try our best – no excuses.   

  • We bring out the best in each other.   

  • We never place limitations on what we can achieve. 

  • We are defined not by where we come from, but by where we are going.

Our Values

Excellence

Mossbournians know their worth and are relentlessly focused on achieving nothing but the excellent and the exceptional.

From our outstanding Reading curriculum to our personal development provision, pupils at Mossbourne Federation never settle for ‘good enough’ and always rise above the too-low expectations put on them by their external environment.

Here, excellence is a habit and an expectation. We open up possibilities for all pupils to achieve excellence by putting nothing but the highest expectations on them, no matter who they are or where they come from.

Unity

Mossbourne is an idea, born out of the mission to provide Hackney children with a world-class education, regardless of any limits imposed on them.

From our founding until today, we have remained unwavering in our commitment to the children in our community and succeeded when everybody around us thought we wouldn’t.

The reason behind our success comes back to a simple formula:
BELIEF + EXCELLENCE + UNITY = SUCCESS.

Here, we rise together and we fall alone.

United in this mission, all Mossbournians within our academies embrace what makes them uniquely them, making an impact in their community through the achievement of every pupil.

No Excuses

Throughout our history as a Federation, we have been united in the belief that until the exceptional is done, everybody will think that it’s impossible.

Mossbourne has done it.

Believing that all perceived ‘barriers’ to learning can be eliminated and that there really are ‘no excuses’, we have forged an environment where every child can achieve a high academic standard and become a future upstanding member of our community.

We have gone beyond the limits of what those around us thought possible, turning this fundamental belief into our driving ethos: It is possible and it can be done – no excuses.
