Montgomery Academy, Bispham

Montgomery Academy (formerly Montgomery High School) is a co-educational secondary school located in Bispham (near Blackpool) in the English county of Lancashire.

[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: 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.

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.
