About Millbrook Primary School

Millbrook Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Wigan local authority average, which is a notable point for parents comparing options. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 65%, Millbrook’s figure is 57%. That gap of eight percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the borough, ranked 69th out of 98. However, the picture is not uniformly lower. In reading, 93% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 107 is strong. The school also achieves a higher-than-average proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading (33%) compared with maths (20%) or writing (23%). So while the combined headline metric lags behind the LA norm, individual subject performance, particularly in reading, suggests pockets of real strength.
