"Montgomery "

It's quite a nice place to be in but there always seems to be something pupils are genuinely concerned about but the staff ignore. Also despite saying they are amazing at anti bullying all they do is ask them to appoligize without contacting parents unless you report it repeatedly. The food is mostly good, classes are alright as most teachers are amazing but a few can permanently ruin a subject.

"1 star too many "

My daughter is currently attending year 8. She started 2 weeks before summer holidays. Since day one, she has been bullied. The teachers do not take it seriously. All they care about is their paycheck at the end of the week.

All staff are ignorant. Receptionist says school will phone you back but never have. Impossible to speak to headmaster. Probably in his office eating, drinking alcohol and smoking weed. It wouldn't surprise me.

They do tell you one joke though, when the parents get shown around the school. The joke is "we have an anti-bullying policy in place".

The school are familiar with my daughter's bullying yet they haven't done a thing about it. They just don't care.

If you care about your kids education then Montgomery Academy is NOT the school to take them too.

"Excellent school with a caring community"

We've been with Montgomery Academy for 2 years now and I'm so impressed with the school's commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment. The teachers are wonderful and really care about their students. My daughter loves attending and says she feels 'safe and happy' which is music to my ears. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

"Great school with lots of opportunities"

We've been with Montgomery Academy for 4 years now and I'm really pleased with the progress our children have made. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities and sports that my kids love, and the teachers are always willing to help. I think the SMART values are a great way to teach the children life skills. My only criticism is that the school could improve on some of the facilities, but overall it's a great school.

"Mixed experience"

We left Montgomery Academy after 3 years and while we had some good experiences, we also had some challenges. The staff were generally friendly and supportive, but I felt that some of the teachers could have done a better job of communicating with us about our child's progress. The school's focus on vocational subjects was a positive, but I think they could have done more to prepare our child for the transition to sixth form. We're happy to have moved on, but I would say that Montgomery Academy is an average school.
