About Ince CofE Primary School

Ince CofE Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits just below the Wigan local authority average, with 60% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined compared to the LA average of 65%. That places the school 61st out of 98 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. But the picture is more nuanced than that single metric suggests. The school’s reading scores are a relative strength: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score of 103 is above the national benchmark of 100. Maths is more mixed, with 60% reaching the expected standard and an average score of exactly 100. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%, and only 5% hit the higher bar in maths, so while most children are getting a solid foundation, very few are stretching into the top tier.
