Wigan schools - best in the country

The head of Ofsted has singled out Wigan as an example to other local authorities in his latest annual report on education standards. Sir Michael Wilshaw said Wigan primary and secondary schools are some of the best in the country.

For the first time, local authorities have been ranked in league tables according to the performance of their primary schools and Wigan is placed in the top category.

Secondary school students have produced the most improved results in Greater Manchester and the fourth most improved in England.

I would like to pay tribute here to all the hard working staff in our schools and within the local authority team who have made this success possible.
