About Montem Academy
Montem Academy sits within Slough local authority, a primary school that has carved out a strong position among its peers. In the most recent rankings based on Key Stage 2 results, it placed 4th out of 26 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The three schools ahead of it locally are Iqra Slough Islamic Primary School, James Elliman Academy, and Khalsa Primary School, all of which scored higher on the same metric. Montem is one of only six schools in Slough rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its nearest Outstanding neighbour, Iqra Slough Islamic Primary School, is about 2.7 kilometres away. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 205 applications for 120 places, with 110 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a school that local families are actively choosing.
