About Robert Piggott CofE Infant School

For a small village-style infant school, Robert Piggott CofE Infant School generates significant local demand. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 75 applications for just 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 14, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 34 were first-preference applications, and 34 first-preference offers were made — a strong signal that most families who put it top of their list secured a place. While the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the combination of high first-preference numbers and oversubscription suggests a positive reputation among local families. The school is a Church of England state primary for children aged 5 to 7, with a current roll of 113 pupils against a capacity of 135, so there is some headroom. Only 8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average, reflecting the relatively affluent Wokingham area.
