At Montgomery Primary School, we strive to provide the best possible opportunities and outcomes for the children in our community. Our recent Ofsted inspection graded us good in all areas. Our hardworking and dedicated staff collaborate to achieve excellence in teaching and learning, ensuring that each child's needs are met through a personalised approach that values their individuality and the unique backgrounds of their families.
We are driven by our commitment to "Taking Care of the Future," empowering children from all backgrounds to maximise their potential, regardless of their talents. We work hard, fostering a culture where children are encouraged to challenge themselves, work collaboratively, and develop independence in their learning journey. We believe in nurturing responsibility, enabling pupils to deepen their knowledge and skills by leveraging their strengths and interests.
While academic success and progress are vital, we prioritise the happiness and safety of our pupils, fostering an environment where they enjoy coming to school and develop into well-rounded individuals capable of making a positive difference in the world. Our 'Monty Values'—passion, determination, honesty, respect, teamwork, and self-belief—are the foundation upon which we build the skills and characteristics necessary for success.
Situated in a zero-carbon, Passivhaus building completed in 2010, our school boasts extensive and beautiful grounds, including a field, tennis court, reflection garden, playground, and adventure trail. The design of our facilities features spacious classrooms and wide corridors, providing fantastic breakout spaces for small group and one-to-one work.
At Montgomery, we believe that a happy child is a successful one. We are committed to providing a positive, safe, and stimulating environment where every child is valued. Our aim is for all children to enjoy their learning, achieve their potential, and become independent lifelong learners ready to engage with the modern world. We embrace a fully inclusive educational approach, ensuring equal opportunities for all and fostering an appreciation for religious and cultural differences.
Join us in our mission to create an excellent educational community that provides the highest quality teaching and learning, enabling our children to make strong progress, regardless of their starting point.
