It was established to accommodate the needs of the growing Catholic population of Stubshaw Cross and Bamfurlong in the late 1950's. In 1959 a small temporary timber framed church was built to provide a place of worship for the area. St. Wilfrid's church became a chapel of ease to St. Oswald's.

Each week we will be sending home ‘Picture News at Home’ to share with your children. It would be nice if the children would like to interact through discussions with yourselves at home and share this in their lessons but alternatively it just might be a nice discussion at home. 7 November 2026 ### [Weekly Bulletin Board](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-07-weekly-bulletin-board) Weekly information for parents 1 November 2026 ### [Parish Newsletters](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/news/2026-11-01-parish-newsletters) Parish Newsletter Week commencing 2nd June [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2095.3244711589377!2d-2.6192610339642943!3d53.49063322901634!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487b044cc384c96d%3A0x26f4752bf8b161ee!2sSt%20Wilfrids%20Catholic%20Primary%20School%20%26%20Nursery!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1738670316513!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![St. Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School and Nursery](https://files.schudio.com/ashtonstwilfrids/images/logo/st-wildfred-logo-upscaled.png) #### St. Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School and Nursery Golborne Road Ashton-in-Makerfield Wigan WN4 8SJ #### Useful Links - [Archdiocese of Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk/department/education) - [Contact Us](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/contact) - [Admissions](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/admissions) - [SEND](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/our-school/sen) - [CPOMS](https://stwilfridswigan.cpoms.net/) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ashtonsaintwilfrids) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.ashtonsaintwilfrids.wigan.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
