About Britannia Bridge Primary School

Britannia Bridge Primary School in Wigan was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, which is three percentage points above the Wigan local authority average of 65%. This places the school 43rd out of 98 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half of local schools. The school’s ranking score of 68 reflects solid, above-average attainment, though it sits some way behind the top-performing local schools like Nicol Mere School and Gilded Hollins Community School, which both scored in the high 90s.
