Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Wigan St Andrew’s Church of England Junior and Infant School.”
- “The school is calm and welcoming from the start of the day.”
- “This helps pupils settle quickly and feel secure.”
To improve
- “However, too many pupils struggle to show what they know across subjects, particularly in writing.”
- “Inconsistencies in teaching mean some pupils do not progress as well as expected from their starting points.”
- “This is most evident in writing, where gaps are slow to close.”
