Millbrook Primary School
Wigan, WN6 8DL · Wigan · primary school
80th 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 4,081 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 214 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 4. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with only 4 spare places? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while addressing the gap between its results and the national median?
