Garrett Hall Primary School
Manchester, M29 7EY · Wigan · primary school
9th of 97 primary schools in Wigan we can score, 99 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3/10 among them, against 8.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in June 2024.

Getting in. The school has 520 pupils in a building with 427 places, meaning it is over capacity by 93. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school significantly over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the inspection was recent, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since the 2024 visit? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving from Year 6 to secondary school?
