Strengths
- “Pupils are warmly welcomed by staff each morning as they arrive at Montgomery Academy.”
- “The positive relationships between pupils and staff contribute to pupils feeling well cared for, safe and happy.”
- “Pupils are proud to be members of their school.”
To improve
- “In 2023, the proportion of pupils who left school with the qualifications that they needed to make a smooth transition to further education or employment was significantly below the national average.”
- “This was due to weaknesses in the previous curriculum offer, instability in staffing and high pupil absence levels.”
- “Even so, some older pupils, especially those in Year 11, have gaps in their learning which make it difficult for them to build new knowledge.”
