Welcome to Montem Academy

Welcome to Montem Academy

Montem Academy is a welcoming and inclusive primary school based in Slough. We are part of The Park Federation Academy Trust, a well-established group of ten schools across Slough, Buckinghamshire and Hillingdon, all committed to providing a high standard of education and care.

At Montem, children are at the heart of everything we do. We believe every pupil deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we strive to create a supportive environment where talents are recognised, confidence is built, and a love of learning is nurtured. Through high-quality teaching and a broad, engaging curriculum, we ensure that all children are well-prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond. Our dedicated and committed staff are united in their ambition to provide the very best education, enabling pupils to learn and grow in a warm, inclusive setting where diversity is celebrated and respected.

Strong relationships are the foundation of a happy and successful school. We place great importance on the partnerships between pupils, staff, parents and carers, recognising that working together is essential in enabling every child to thrive. We value the important role parents and carers play in this journey and look forward to working closely together to ensure every child at Montem is supported, challenged and inspired to achieve their very best.

Montem’s commitment to ‘Everyone to Excel through Pride and Ambition’ reflects our shared values. It underpins everything we do, from high expectations for learning and behaviour to nurturing confident, respectful and ambitious pupils who are proud of themselves and their school.
