Montgomery High School is a secondary school with academy status in Bispham, Blackpool.
The school holds Specialist Language College status and is a Beacon school.
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.
Montgomery has been selected to take part in the Human Scale Schools project operating in collaboration with the Gulbenkian Foundation.
The school ran a survey on cycle usage on behalf of the Department for Transport.
In 2003/4 the football team won the Harry Johnson Trophy (named after the former Blackpool player) with a 3-0 victory coming over neighbours Millfield. The team also took home the Lancashire Cup with a 3-1 victory in the final.
The 2004/5 football team reached the final of the National Cup, before being defeated 3-0 in the final at Selhurst Park.
Stephanie Findlay played football for Blackpool Ladies whilst at the school and then was selected for the soccer roster at Webber International University in Florida, USA. It is very rare for someone to move from a UK school to a USA university on a sports scholarship.
