Welcome to Montem Academy

Montem Academy has a wonderfully diverse community which comprises of pupils and adults from a wide range of nations, ethnicities and cultures.  We celebrate this diversity and believe it is a key strength of our academy.  We offer all children an education in a safe, calm, inclusive and stimulating environment where every child is valued as an individual.  We aim to nurture well rounded, respectful and confident children who will develop skills for life-long learning.

Everything we do will be in the spirit of The Montem Vision – learning, attitudes and behaviour. By following the high expectations defined by The Montem Vision, everyone will have the best possible opportunity to achieve their best and develop their talents and skills.
