Montgomery Primary Academy is an award winning and high achieving school with strong leadership and a commitment to staff development.
We are a 3 form entry primary and proud to serve the communities around Central Birmingham. Over the last three years, significant investment in our building and commitment from our talented staff team has meant that attainment has risen and we are a securely ‘good’ school (Ofsted 2018).
We work closely with our primary partner Percy Shurmer Academy, and we share resources, staff, training and place an emphasis on effective and tailored professional development.
Montgomery Primary Academy and Percy Shurmer Academy work in partnership to provide our children with an outstanding education. As partner schools we have an overarching vision and shared values that bind our schools together. Through our collaboration both schools are strengthened. The efficient use of shared resources enables the partnership to provide additional resources to our pupils and offer a wide range of opportunities for pupils, parents, staff and the wider community. We ensure success for all our pupils through innovative and inspirational teaching , as both schools work together to share best practice.
Montgomery Primary Academy and Percy Shurmer Academy are led by an Executive Principal and one management board. Each school has a Head of School. Their role is to ensure that each school gains the optimum benefit from the partnership, as they translate the values and vision to ensure success for each unique school.
Our Curriculum
We believe that children learn best when their learning experiences are evocative, therefore we teach most of our subjects through a connected curriculum.
This works by delivering a different theme in each year group for each term throughout the year. The curriculum is planned so that as many learning experiences as possible are linked to this theme; this allows the children to see that their skills are all connected. During the children's learning we try to integrate as many real life experiences as possible that are related to the area they are studying.
Literacy, Numeracy and ICT underline our curriculum to ensure that the key skills children need for success, are fully learned before the children move on to secondary education. Therefore, our curriculum is skills based and children learn to apply these skills in every part of their learning.
