About Tyldesley St George's Central CofE Primary School and Nursery

If you compare Tyldesley St George's Central CofE Primary School and Nursery against the Wigan local authority average for Key Stage 2, the difference is clear. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 65%, but this school achieves 77%. That is a twelve-point gap above the norm, placing it firmly in the top quarter of primary schools nationally and 19th out of 98 in Wigan. The school's overall ranking score of 77 puts it in the top 25% tier, and within the North West region it ranks 271st out of 2,065 primary schools. It is worth noting that the school is oversubscribed: for 45 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 70 total applications, with 42 offers going to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents see the value in those above-average results.
