What The Good Schools Guide says..
Lots of imaginative cross-curricular learning: displays everywhere are evidence of lively thinking and teaching.'Montpelier make their goals very clear.' As socially diverse as any school in the capital. Around 65 per cent speak a language other than English at home – huge range of languages and cultures. Unusually strong music – 146+ learn an instrument in or after school. Not much room for slacking here ...

What The Good Schools Guide says
Headteacher
Since 2003, Am Rai (50s). BA in sociology, Birmingham Poly, MA in educational management and administration at University of London, Institute of Education. Very experienced head who had already worked in seven London state primaries prior to his arrival at Montpelier. He had been twice seconded to rescue failing schools - one that was set to fail six weeks before an Ofsted inspection. It passed. However, rather than thinking of himself as some great saviour, he says with a degree of humility that ‘you take with you a footfall of strategies that have proved successful.’ Teaching was almost an inevitability for this head with a history of teachers in his family – both parents no less.
‘A bit of a strange fish’ one parent referred to him as (rather affectionately)....

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
