6.2/10 Broadly average

34th 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 1,622 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 71.0 · 68 40% 2.73

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, 71.0% 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 October 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.7 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access running, nature, gardening, sewing, cooking, baking, film, karaoke, mindfulness, and yoga clubs, alongside football and swimming. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 237 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 27. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for 27 pupils over capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils progress from the expected to the higher standard? How do parents access the after-school club if they need it?
