About Bryn St Peter's CofE Primary School

Bryn St Peter's CofE Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in Wigan, with 196 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. Its intake stands out for its high level of disadvantage: 40.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. That context matters when looking at the school's demand. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 39 applications for 23 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.7 applicants per place. Of those, 20 were first-preference applications, and all 20 received offers. So while the school isn't the most oversubscribed in the borough, it is clearly a popular choice among local families who put it first. The school is a Church of England primary, which may also shape its character, though the data doesn't specify any faith-based admissions criteria.
