Ofsted

Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy was last inspected on 24th January 2023 and rated ‘Outstanding’ in all areas. In its report, Ofsted noted that at MVPA, “The guiding principles of courtesy, integrity, resilience, hard work and excellence are central to the culture of the school.”

These values underpin everything we do. Day in, day out, we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating the very best conditions for our students to flourish. We nurture young people who are intellectually inquisitive, ambitious and compassionate, equipping them to accomplish remarkable things beyond our gates. 

While we are proud that this has been formally recognised, an ‘Outstanding’ judgement is not a destination. We remain relentless in our pursuit of further excellence and look forward to welcoming Ofsted again in the future to showcase our continued drive to be among the very best schools in the country.
