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
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 we all work hard to ‘Inspire Excellence Together’.
