St John's CofE Primary School Mosley Common
Manchester, M28 1AE · Wigan · primary school
70th 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 3,829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. The school has 198 pupils in a building with 175 places, meaning it is over capacity by 23. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine?
