Music is our specialism so we invest in the sort of support that lifts our musicians to their highest possible levels: state-of-the-art music suites, recording studios, practice rooms and an extensive scholarship programme.
Over 250 young musicians of all ages enjoy subsidised instrumental music lessons, which supplement the engaging music curriculum. Performances throughout the year, featuring our School Bands, Samba Bateria, Senior Choir, Key-Stage 3 Chorus, string quartets, smaller bands and individual performers, take place on and off the premises. Recent highlights include the Lord Mayor’s Show and Leeds Arena with Andrea Bocelli, for example.
In recognition of this consistent level of excellence, Mossbourne was recently granted an award by the Mayor of Hackney for Excellence in Music Education.
Mossbourne Community Academy’s school band collaborated with the Hackney Borough Youth Orchestra to perform The Pirates of the Caribbean Suite for the finale of the Hackney Gala concert in 2015. Take a look at the video below.
