Gilded Hollins Community School
Leigh, WN7 3PQ · Wigan · primary school
19th 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 3,424 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1/10 among them, against 8.7/10 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 | 97.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 97.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1 out of 10 among them, against 8.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Kindness Corner, Gardening, Playleaders, Coding, Change For Life, multi skills, basketball, and dance. Sports cover football, rugby league, tag rugby, athletics, cross country, rounders, curling, and cricket. The school choir performs, and Year 6 pupils go on a residential trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 209 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving just 1 spare place. With only one vacancy, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single spare place during the admissions process? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
