About Mossbourne Riverside Academy

Mossbourne Riverside Academy is a primary school in London, Hackney, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 602 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 92% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 17.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 1% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 33% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 56% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (106 first choices for 59 places). Overall pupil absence was 3.2%. There are about 20.9 pupils per teacher. Mossbourne Riverside Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
