Mixed Primary Church of England
4.9/10 Broadly average

58th 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 — 6.4/10 against 1,342 of them, against 4.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 62% 2.40
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 10.0 · 66 38% 2.54

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, 60.0% 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. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 366 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 54 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What provision exists for pupils who need extra help with reading? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils?
