  Area deprivation	Quintile 3 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	0.62 mi (2025/26)
  URN	106430
  Distance	2.1 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Wigan council's own published records: how far the furthest-admitted pupil lived last year under the distance criterion. Drawn as a circle for simplicity, since real admission areas aren't circular, but the distance itself isn't modelled or guessed. It shifts every year with demand and isn't a guarantee.

St Mary and St John Catholic Primary School

  Estimated admission distance	0.28 mi Estimated
  URN	106459
  Distance	1.7 mi

  Wigan hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.

  Wigan hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Wigan council's own published records: how far the furthest-admitted pupil lived last year under the distance criterion. Drawn as a circle for simplicity, since real admission areas aren't circular, but the distance itself isn't modelled or guessed. It shifts every year with demand and isn't a guarantee.

St William's Catholic Primary School

Voluntary aided school · 1.8 mi

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Voluntary aided school
  Age range	3–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	Roman Catholic
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Local authority	Wigan

  Phone	01942235782

  Area deprivation	Quintile 5 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	0.39 mi Estimated
  URN	106497
  Distance	1.8 mi

  Wigan hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.
