Hindsford CofE Primary School
About Hindsford CofE Primary School
Hindsford CofE Primary School sits comfortably above the Wigan local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 65 per cent, Hindsford achieves 77 per cent. That places it 23rd out of 99 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top quarter of its local peers. The school also ranks in the top 14 per cent of primaries across the North West region and the top 16 per cent nationally. It is one of only 16 outstanding-rated primary schools in Wigan, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2024, awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. The previous inspection, back in 2014, also rated the school outstanding overall, so this is a school with a sustained track record of high performance.
