St. Peter's Catholic High School

Andrew McGlown, Headteacher

We are an 11-16 Comprehensive school of 930
students in Orrell, Wigan. We serve a wide
community from Wigan, Lancashire and St.
Helen’s. We have a longstanding reputation
as a school that achieves very good results,
but in 2012 we achieved a significant 10%
improvement in the key measure of 5 A*-C
including English and Maths to 84%. As the
new Headteacher from September 2012 it is
important to understand how this success has
been achieved and how we can build on it to
achieve even more.
