What skills and experience we're looking for
Mossbourne Federation is the realisation of Sir Clive Bourne’s dream to provide the children of Hackney with an outstanding education. Built on a formula of high expectations, doing the simple things right, and the belief that all children can succeed, Mossbourne offers an environment where all learners, regardless of ability, benefit from innovative and enlightened approaches to teaching and learning. Our calm working atmosphere creates well-rounded individuals who excel in the arts, on the sporting field, and academically.
In 2025, our 20th anniversary year, we are delighted to have expanded to include three Thurrock schools in our Federation. We now consist of seven academies:
Mossbourne Community Academy (MCA) secondary and sixth form, Hackney
Mossbourne Fobbing Academy (MFA) secondary and sixth form, Thurrock
Mossbourne Herd Lane Academy (MHA) primary, Thurrock
Mossbourne Parkside Academy (MPA) primary, Hackney
Mossbourne Port Side Academy (MPSA) secondary, Thurrock
Mossbourne Riverside Academy (MRA) primary, Hackney
Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy (MVPA) secondary, Hackney
The Humanities Learning Area includes the subjects History, Geography, Religious Studies, Sociology and Psychology. The Humanities Learning Area also has responsibility for the delivery of PSHCE and Citizenship to our students. There are currently fifteen Humanities teachers working within the Humanities Learning Area at Mossbourne. The Head of Learning Area oversees the management of all staff as well as curriculum and discipline issues within all the humanities subjects. In addition, we have teachers in charge of Religious Studies, History, Geography, Psychology and Sociology. The Learning Area is extremely well-resourced with six fully equipped classrooms, each with an interactive whiteboard and DVD-playing facilities. The ground floor of the Humanities Learning Area contains thirty computers where classes can be taught and where students can work on breaks and at lunchtime.
The successful applicant will be a Religious Studies specialist who is passionate in teaching their subject to KS3 and KS4. They will be well organised, energetic, and willing to go the ‘extra mile’. They will hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and may be starting out as an NQT, or have a proven track record of successful teaching across different key stages and believe that all students will succeed in religious studies.
