Headteacher's Introduction
We believe that by the time you have read this prospectus, visited the school and met our students and staff, you will feel confident that The Piggott School is the right place for your daughter or son.
We were inspected inspected by Ofsted in September 2007. Here are some of the inspectors’ main findings;
- This is a good school with outstanding features.
- The care, guidance and support pupils receive are outstanding.
- This provision, as well as good teaching and learning, has contributed greatly to the rise in academic standards
- Pupils' personal development, now excellent, has improved since the last inspection.
- Pupils are considerate and courteous. They want to learn and work hard.
- Pupils are keen to contribute to the life of the school, local and wider community
- Pupils readily play a part in dealing with any anxieties other pupils may have.
- Behaviour is good. Pupils and parents comment positively on this.
- Pupils are full of praise for the way in which staff make themselves available at any time of the day to discuss problems and give extra help with academic work.
We aim constantly to improve on our already high standards.
We are proud of our current and former students, of their academic success, their sporting and cultural achievements, and their contributions to the communities in which we live. I hope you and your son/daughter will choose to join and work with us as we strive to make The Piggott School a beacon of educational excellence.
