St Thomas CofE Junior and Infant School
Warrington, WA3 3TH · Wigan · primary school
40th 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 — 7.8/10 against 2,192 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 216 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the inspection was recent, what specific improvements have been implemented since the May 2025 visit? How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects?
