Summary

St. Mary's CofE Primary School, located in Platt Bridge, Wigan, is a mixed voluntary controlled primary school with a current enrolment of 256 pupils, serving a community that includes Platt Bridge, Spring View, Lower Ince, Abram, and Hindley. Established over 100 years ago, the school moved to its new building in April 2015 and fosters a family-oriented ethos. While it is a church school, attendance at a place of worship is not a prerequisite for admission.

The school is committed to providing a high-quality education, emphasising the development of lifelong learning skills, strong relationships, and Christian values. St. Mary's implements a challenging curriculum supported by dedicated teachers and teaching assistants. Additionally, the Pastoral Team offers a variety of nurture and therapeutic sessions, alongside parenting and attendance support for families.

St. Mary's also provides a range of extracurricular activities, including after-school clubs and sports tournaments, to enrich the educational experience. The school maintains strong community ties, particularly with St Nathaniel’s Church, and encourages an open-door policy for parents and visitors.
