About schools near Wigan
Here are the 60 nearest schools to Wigan, ordered by how far each one sits from the centre. The closest is St James' Church of England Primary School, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.
Ofsted inspects the schools on this page. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Wigan, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Wigan itself, open its schools page.
