About Winstanley College

Winstanley College, a state-funded sixth form in Wigan, has a clear story to tell about academic outcomes. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, which is the key metric for parents, awarded the school a Good rating. This places it among the minority of schools in the local authority that have achieved this standard, given that only one of the 22 similar schools in Wigan is rated Outstanding. On the most informative exam metric available, the college’s average A-level grade per entry was a B-, with a points score of 37.83. This is a solid, above-national-average performance for a non-selective sixth form. The school’s Progress 8 score for A-levels, which measures how much students improve relative to their prior attainment, sits at -0.01, with a confidence interval ranging from -0.05 to 0.03. This places the college in the ‘Average’ progress banding, meaning students typically achieve in line with expectations given their starting points.
