Check the area around this school
35th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 1,596 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Hindley All Saints CofE Primary School
Overview
Pupils are “proud to attend this school” and feel “happy, safe and secure” within a community described as being “like a family”. The school delivers a “broad, ambitious and interesting” curriculum where most pupils achieve well, supported by high expectations and effective leadership.
Strengths
- The curriculum is structured in “small, well-ordered steps”, helping pupils build new knowledge on what they already know.
- Pupils demonstrate “calm and orderly” behaviour, are “respectful of others”, and take on leadership responsibilities such as managing the library.
- Early reading is prioritised, with children developing “strong communication and language skills” and accessing a “broad range of books”.
- Staff well-being is valued, with leaders considering the “impact on staff’s workload” when making changes.
- Pupils develop an awareness of the world beyond their local area through discussions on news and current affairs.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure that information about pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) triggers support “quickly enough” so they can progress effectively.
- Reading books for pupils at the “earliest stages of learning to read” must be matched to their phonic knowledge to ensure successful access.
Safeguarding
