Montgomery Primary Academy is one of the highest performing schools in the Midlands. Since joining Talk for Writing over ten years ago, the school has undergone an astonishing transformation.
In 2014, faced with mediocre results and an unexciting curriculum, Montgomery embarked on their school improvement journey with Talk for Writing at the very centre of their change. A decade later, the school has become a beacon within its community, celebrated for its high results, ambitious curriculum and exceptional personal development opportunities.
The way in which Montgomery rolled out and embedded Talk for Writing across the school is one of the reasons why over 80% of the pupils leave at age related expectations in reading, writing and maths, despite the fact that 98% of the school community have English as an additional language.
