St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School Wigan Nursery

St Cuthbert's places love, learning and prayer in its stated mission, where nursery provision belongs to a Catholic primary school with an Early Years Centre. The school aims to combine faith with enthusiasm for learning, and to help children feel valued and confident enough to make mistakes. For parents, that gives the provision a clear religious context rather than simply a school address.

The setting is on Thorburn Road in Norley Hall, Wigan. Its nursery is part of the school, so families considering it are choosing that wider Catholic setting too.

St Cuthbert's aims to encourage a love of learning and enthusiasm to succeed. Making room for mistakes is also part of its stated ethos. For parents, these aims provide useful questions for the nursery team about how children are encouraged to try, practise and try again.

At school level, the support structure includes a special educational needs and disability co-ordinator, learning mentors, designated safeguarding leads and deputies. These are distinct roles, giving families different points of contact for learning needs, wellbeing and concerns about safety.

Wigan SENDIASS provides impartial advice and support for families of children with special educational needs or disabilities. Wigan's Local Offer brings together information about local services and how families can access them. Those routes give parents support beyond their conversations with the school.

Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admission process and meet its deadline. St Cuthbert's follows the local education authority's admission procedure. Treat choosing the nursery and applying for Reception as separate decisions.

Parents are invited to visit the school before their children are admitted and discuss concerns with the teaching team. That is an opportunity to talk about the next stage; it should not be read as an admissions advantage.

School enquiries go through 01942 222721 or enquiries@admin.saintcuthberts.wigan.sch.uk. The school accommodates requests for a school tour, giving families a direct way to explore the setting before making their decision.

For questions about learning, subject leads can be reached through the school office. For additional needs, the SEND co-ordinator is the relevant school role. Keeping those purposes distinct helps parents direct a conversation to the appropriate team, while the general enquiry route provides a starting point for contacting the school.
