Montgomery Academy (formerly Montgomery High School) is a co-educational secondary school located in Bispham (near Blackpool) in the English county of Lancashire.
The school has previously held Specialist Language College status and was part of the Beacon schools programme.
In February 2001, the Times Educational Supplement listed Montgomery in a group of schools that had received outstanding inspection reports or achieved sustained excellent GCSE results.
In September 2005 it was notable for being awarded 'outstanding' assessments by Ofsted in the following key areas:
Joan Humble and Stephen Twigg congratulated the school for its achievements in the House of Commons on 20 January 2005 and the school was then visited by the Secretary of State for Education Ruth Kelly.
Previously a foundation school administered by Blackpool Council, in April 2012 Montgomery High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust, and was later renamed Montgomery Academy.
In 2014, Montgomery was placed in special measures. Ofsted rated it inadequate in all four areas of effectiveness: achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management.
In January 2016, the school's Facebook page received a threat from an alleged pupil of a gun incident on Monday, January 4, 2016. On 20 April 2016, Blackpool police extended the police bail of the only suspect in the threats for a further 5 weeks after the initial 15 weeks intensive investigation revealed nothing of substance. On 13 May 2016, Blackpool police issued a Notice of No Further Action to the man previously arrested in connection with the alleged threats purported to have been made against the school's pupils.
