Cambian Tyldesley School
Manchester, Wigan, North West · M29 8BS
Cambian Tyldesley School is an unusually small independent setting in Wigan, with just 27 pupils on roll. Its size points to an intimate, closely supervised environment rather than a conventional mainstream school, and families considering it should look closely at how the school's approach matches their child's needs. Entry is possible from age 11, and the school is overseen by the ISI inspectorate under headteacher Mrs Jemma Westby.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs, though published outcomes sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 5.9 against a national figure of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Set against the school's very small roll, these figures suggest a cohort whose academic profile differs markedly from the mainstream average. Parents will want a frank conversation about how progress is measured and supported here.
