Montgomery Academy · Blackpool, North West
Join Team FCAT
Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT) was established
in 2012. Our trust aims to ensure first class learning opportunities for all
young people across the Fylde Coast and across Lancashire. The trust has grown
to include 10 academies with primary, secondary and all through as well as the
Central Services and School Improvement team. Our values of excellence,
integrity and resilience guide us to be the best we can be.
Learners are at the heart of what we do and their outcomes and successes are
what drive us.
As a Multi-Academy Trust we work in partnership
with educational institutions locally to foster collaboration and knowledge
sharing, which is critical to our culture of continuous improvement. Full
information about the trust and its work can be found on our website www.fcat.org.uk
About Montgomery Academy
Montgomery has been serving it’s community for
over 60 years and supported many local residents through the challenges of the
pandemic. We have a proud tradition of
both sporting and academic success and we dominate the local sporting
competitions. Our standards of
achievement have been improving year on year, including in 2023, and are built
on high quality teaching and learning.
At Montgomery Academy we have a reading rich
curriculum that blends traditional academic subjects with the vocational
opportunities that Blackpool excels in such as travel, childcare, catering,
enterprise and entertainment. Across their five years students study the full
National Curriculum enriched with community-based opportunities to complement
their academic education. Excitingly,
this year we have broadened even further the curriculum choices for our current
Year 9 students considering their options.
We have established links with both Blackpool & Fylde and Myerscough
Colleges offering a new range of courses to our students such as Construction,
Motor Vehicle Maintenance, Hair & Beauty and Animal Studies.
We want all students within our Montgomery
Family to be happy, confident young learners that get the best out of the
opportunities that we provide. Therefore, we ask them all to be SMART in both
their behaviour and attitudes. SMART
stands for Safe, Mature, Ambitious, Respectful and Thoughtful.
Montgomery’s reputation in the community
continues to flourish as does demand for places here, though we remain
committed to improving the provision for our young people even further.
OFSTED rated us ‘Good’ in all areas in May 2024
covering Quality of Education, Leadership & Management, Behaviour &
Attitudes and Personal Development. This is great recognition for the
redesigned curriculum we have put in place and the hard work of our excellent
staff. The full report is available on
our website.
What makes Montgomery special is the people that
walk around it. In our Montgomery Family of students, parents and our superb
team of staff
