History
The school has previously held Specialist Language College status and was part of the Beacon schools programme. [2]
In February 2001, the Times Educational Supplement listed Montgomery in a group of schools that had received outstanding inspection reports or achieved sustained excellent GCSE results. [3]
In September 2005 it was notable for being awarded 'outstanding' assessments by Ofsted in the following key areas:
- How well does the school work in partnership with others to promote learners' well-being?
- How good is the overall personal development and well-being of the learners?
- How well do the curriculum and other activities meet the range of needs and interests of learners?
- How well are learners cared for, guided and supported? [2]
Joan Humble and Stephen Twigg congratulated the school for its achievements in the House of Commons on 20 January 2005 [4] and the school was then visited by the Secretary of State for Education Ruth Kelly. [5]
Previously a foundation school administered by Blackpool Council, in April 2012 Montgomery High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust, [6] and was later renamed Montgomery Academy.
In 2014, Montgomery was placed in special measures. Ofsted rated it inadequate in all four areas of effectiveness: achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management. [7]
