St Peter's Church of England Primary School, Hindley
Wigan, WN2 3HY · Wigan · primary school
31st 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 — 8.3/10 against 2,302 of them, against 7.0/10 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% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 12.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Book Club, play football or flag American football, and Year 6 students go on a London residential trip. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 279 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 36 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with reading or writing given the 12.0% higher standard figure? What are the options for supervision before 8:30 am or after 3:30 pm, since there are no wraparound clubs? How does the Year 6 London residential trip prepare students for the transition to secondary school?
