We believe Monteagle is a fantastic school with wonderful children. Despite the challenges, we have every faith that Monteagle can get better and better.

Lynna Thompson & Mark Austin

The challenges are:

• A large number of children enter Monteagle with a low baseline.



• At least 20% of our children are vulnerable presenting with Special Needs, behaviour/emotional difficulties, or in care.



• The school pupil population is not stable.



• A large number of children have free school meals.



• A number of parents have literacy needs.



• A number of our parents have low aspirations for their children.



• A lack of parental support.



• Primary education is essential, but many of our parents fail to recognise this. One result being poor attendance.



• We have a vision of excellence for Monteagle. We need all members of the school community to start to share this vision.
