Welcome to the South Wigston High School website. Hopefully it will give you an insight into the sort of school we are and what we do here.

Our vision is "success for all" and in 2007 Ofsted stated that we definitely lived up to that. In 2010, standards became higher, and we joined the elite group of only 9% of all schools to be graded 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The school is a vibrant and exciting place to learn, with quality lessons and an outstanding range of enrichment opportunities for every pupil. Our school has been around since 1938, and as the names and photographs in our Hall of Fame show, has had consistently high achievers. Despite being around for a while, our facilities are modern, from four exciting computer areas, to a £1.5 million Sports academy. Our standards are second to none and we have been consistently in the top 1% in England for pupils' progress.

If after looking around this website, you'd like to visit personally, please contact us and we will gladly let you see how the school looks during a working day.
