About St David Haigh and Aspull CofE Primary School

St David Haigh and Aspull CofE Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Wigan. Its key headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 62%, just three percentage points below the local authority average of 65%. That places the school 57th out of 99 primaries in the borough, squarely in the middle third. The school is not among the 16 outstanding-rated primaries in Wigan, but it has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2014, and its most recent graded inspection in 2023 confirmed that across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years — it remains Good. With only 88 pupils on a capacity of 182, it is significantly undersubscribed, though for the 2025/26 intake it received 44 applications for 18 places, suggesting strong local demand.
