Ince CE Primary & Nursery School is a well-established Church of England school located in the heart of Ince, within the Wigan borough. We take great pride in every child who walks through our doors, celebrating their achievements both in the classroom and beyond.
We welcome nursery children from the school term following their third birthday, offering a nurturing and engaging early years experience. At Ince Primary, we are guided by the light of Jesus within us all. His light leads us on our individual journeys through life, helping us grow, learn, and flourish together.
United by our faith and values, we aim to shine brightly within our wider community. Click the links in the menu to find out more about our vision, values and our staff. For general enquiries, please contact our Receptionist, Miss D Murray, in the school office.
