The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the year 2021 to 2022. They have archived data from 2018/2019 but they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.
Our 2021/2022 should be celebrated!! The children really showed exactly what they could do. We were extremely proud of all of the year six children. It was also a reflection of the hard work, dedication and high quality teaching from Montgomery's teachers.

- The head of school’s passion and high expectations have been central to the rapid improvement of the school. He has steered the school through a difficult period of staffing turbulence with great professionalism.
- The governing body provides appropriate challenge for school leaders. Governors know that there are further improvements to outcomes that need to be made.
- Since September 2018, outcomes have risen. The vast majority of current pupils now make strong progress from their starting points in reading, writing and mathematics.
- There is a strong safeguarding culture at the school. The effective pastoral support at the school means that pupils behave well and feel safe. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe.
- Disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make strong progress from their individual starting points.
- The physical education (PE) and sport premium funding is effectively spent. Pupils receive a broad range of sporting opportunities, both within lessons and at the start and end of the school day. As a result, pupils compete often in a wide range of regional finals.
- Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive of leaders. They also speak very highly of teachers and other staff.
- Leaders ensure that the promotion of equality, is a thread which weaves through all aspects of school life.
- Children in the early years get off to a flying start on their learning journey. As a result, they are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
- The quality of teaching is good. Teachers have been supported well by leaders to improve their practice. As a result, pupils’ outcomes are improving strongly. Nevertheless, strong teaching is not consistent across all year groups.
- In the past, too few pupils in key stage 2 attained as well as they should in reading, writing and mathematics.
- Pupils experience a broad curriculum. Most pupils make good progress in a variety of subjects. However, in some year groups, pupils do not have enough opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding.
