The Piggott School
About The Piggott School
The Piggott School’s headline academic metrics put it in a league of its own within Wokingham. Its Progress 8 score of 0.74 is more than three times the local authority average of 0.21, and it ranks first out of nine secondary schools in the borough. That score also places it in the top 10% nationally, and the Department for Education bands its progress as ‘well above average’. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 474 applications for 218 places, with 207 first-preference applications resulting in 194 offers. This level of demand suggests local families see the school as a standout option, and the data backs that up. The school is a Church of England all-through (ages 4-18) with a single-site secondary phase, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, with an ungraded outcome of ‘Improving’.
