Slough does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Reception place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Montem Academy. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

School overview

Montem Academy is a primary school serving Slough, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 900 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 79% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 1.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 26% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 96% of the families who made Montem Academy their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher. Montem Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
