About Tyldesley Primary School

If you’re comparing primary schools in Wigan, Tyldesley Primary School stands out for its strong academic performance. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is well above the local authority average of 65%. That puts the school in the top 25% of primaries nationally for this measure, and 14th out of 98 schools in Wigan. Its average scores in reading (107) and maths (105) are both above the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of children reaching the higher standard in reading (44%) is particularly notable. The school is also oversubscribed: for 2025/26, it received 142 applications for 60 places, with 63 families putting it as their first choice and 56 of those receiving offers. That level of demand suggests local parents see the value here.
