The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

School overview
The Piggott School is an all-through school serving Reading, Wokingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. It has 1,885 pupils aged 4 to 18 on roll. 69% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 61.9, well above the national average of 46. On our composite score, The Piggott School ranks in the top 42% of primary schools nationally for its primary (KS2) results. For its secondary (KS4) results, it ranks among the top 6% of secondary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). At Key Stage 4, 75% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made The Piggott School their first choice was offered one of its 28 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 16.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. The Piggott School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
