COVID-19 Update: A message from Professor Kate Ardern, director of Public Health for Wigan

“Following the government’s decision to introduce a local lockdown in Leicester, we have been made aware that the media is sharing a list of places that could be next, including Wigan. We wanted to make sure that this is published widely through our communications channels to put your mind at rest.

“The figures being quoted are weekly case increases, without any wider context. So for example, in the last week we only recorded two new cases, compared to zero cases the week before. Our 7-day infection rate is 3.7 per 100,000 people compared to Leicester’s rate of 135 per 100,000. We also currently have the sixth lowest rate of cases in Greater Manchester and cases in Wigan have only accounted for 0.3% of all national cases this week.

“The way this information has been pulled together is misleading, unhelpful and irresponsible. I’d like to reassure our residents that we monitor all cases through our daily Covid-19 tracker which we’ll be sharing publicly on our website shortly so all residents can see clear, accurate, up to date information which should help put their minds at ease, but to be clear judging by our latest figures, I don’t think we can expect a local lockdown any time soon.”

Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to St. Wilfrid’s Church of England Primary Academy …

On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to welcome you to our website.

St. Wilfrid’s Church of England Primary Academy has been delivering education as part of the Standish Community for many years and we are very proud of all that has been achieved. We are very much a family who work together in partnership to ensure that all children are happy and achieve well. We enjoy close links with St. Wilfrid’s Church and we are very proud of our strong and distinctive Christian identity, culture and ethos, which permeates all aspects of school life.

St. Wilfrid’s Church of England Primary Academy is part of the Learning Together Trust and the support school in the Multi Academy Trust, currently working with three other local schools and working collaboratively.

In September 2007, Ofsted judged the school to be Outstanding in all areas. We are very proud of this and the significant achievements of all our children. During January 2018, we had an extremely successful SIAMs inspection, which was also judged to be outstanding in all areas. We have been successful in achieving a range of awards and accreditations.

In 2019, we were awarded ‘Primary School of the Year’ in the Wigan Education Awards, which we are immensely proud of. At the same awards, we were thrilled to be named winners of ‘Sustainable School Award’ for our highly effective Eco-Team. We were also shortlisted for a number of other awards including ‘Health and Wellbeing Award’ for our whole school wellbeing days, ‘Community Award’ for our continued work with Wigan Hospice and finally ‘Inspirational Teacher Award’ for our specialist Music teacher, Mrs Goulding. 

I hope that you find the information on our website useful, giving you an insight into the life and work of our Academy.

Mr. Stuart Colothan

Headteacher

“School is about providing an environment and ethos where children are given an education of the highest quality, which leads to academic excellence, personal development and spiritual growth. It is about nurturing individuals, who reflect Christian Character and values, and are prepared for tomorrow’s challenges as lifelong learners.”
