St John Rigby RC Sixth Form College

About St John Rigby RC Sixth Form College

St John Rigby RC Sixth Form College is a Roman Catholic state sixth form in Wigan, serving 424 students across the 16-19 age range. As a post-16 only institution, it does not have a published capacity figure in the same way as an 11-16 school, but its pupil count suggests a reasonably sized sixth form within the local authority context. The school operates under the Wigan local authority, where only one out of 22 secondary-type schools holds an Outstanding rating, placing St John Rigby in a competitive landscape. While the data does not include a Free School Meals percentage for the college itself, the local authority average Progress 8 score for similar schools is -0.3, indicating that Wigan’s secondary sector faces some challenges relative to national benchmarks. The college’s religious character as Roman Catholic may influence its intake, attracting families seeking a faith-based post-16 environment. Admission information is not detailed in the data, so it is unclear whether the college is oversubscribed, but its status as a specialist sixth form centre suggests it draws students from across the borough and potentially beyond.
