About Wigan and Leigh College

Wigan and Leigh College serves students from age 16 to 99, which immediately sets it apart from the typical secondary school in the borough. Its most recent A-level data shows a value-added score of -0.18, which is notably better than the Wigan local authority average Progress 8 score of -0.3 for secondary schools. While these metrics aren't directly comparable — Progress 8 measures GCSE performance and this college's figure is for A-level value added — the contrast is still striking. The college's progress banding is rated 'Average', and its best three A-levels grade sits at C+, with a points per entry grade of C. Given that the LA average Progress 8 is negative, Wigan and Leigh College appears to be performing broadly in line with or slightly above the typical outcomes for the area, though it doesn't reach the heights of the top-ranked local schools like St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School, which has a ranking score of 0.16.
