About The Piggott School

Thank you for your interest in joining our community at The Piggott School. We are an extremely successful, oversubscribed, and happy co-educational academy. Our senior school site is on the outskirts of Wargrave (near Twyford) and our primary school site is in the village of Charvil.

The Piggott School was established in 1939 and, together with our primary site at Charvil, we are an all-through 4-18, mixed, comprehensive school with a higher-than-average ability intake. The Piggott School senior site has 1620 students and 175 staff.

Our mission is to be a school which inspires and encourages the highest achievement for each and every child. I believe that our school provides the correct balance and blend of academic challenge, personal care and enrichment that fosters the holistic development of every student.

We are extremely proud of our results, both at GCSE and A level/Level 3 learning. The results achieved in Summer 2023 reflect the hard work and commitment of the students and staff in our school.

The quality of teaching and learning at our school enables us to achieve our aim to help every student to develop into the very best they can be; to be independent in their thinking, to value lifelong learning, to be open to new ideas, to encourage respect and tolerance.

The care and guidance offered at our school by the outstanding staff provide a culture and ethos which successfully help every child feel safe, happy, and challenged. Our students are a delight to teach, and we work hard to ensure that all members of the school community can flourish. I urge you to read our Ofsted and SIAMs reports on our website.
