| Abstract | The secrets of success of one of England's top schools: providing a structured environment; insistence on good behaviour; devolved management; quality teaching and learning and consistent assessment.Mossbourne Community Academy has been achieving impressive results, despite being in one of the most socially and economically deprived parts of Britain, the London borough of Hackney. The timber and glass Richard Rogers designed building was built on the site of Hackney Downs School, which was once dubbed the worst school in the country.In 2009 an extraordinary 85% of Mossbourne Community Academy's pupils achieved five A*-C at GCSE, including both English and maths - a performance way above the national average. The school's Value Added score is 1072, making it the top performing school nationally for Value Added.The principal Sir Michael Wilshaw runs through what he believes are the five main reasons for the school's success, with contributions from staff, students and parents. |
