The Piggott School

School overview

The Piggott School is an all-through school serving Reading, Wokingham, classified by the DfE as an academy converter 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%. 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.
