The Piggott School is a tate Secondary School for kids aged 4 to 11 (Gender - Mix)
The school provides the perfect balance and blend of academic challenge, personal care, development and enrichment that allows for the holistic development of each and every child: the development of the child as an individual, as a whole person. The quality of teaching and learning which occurs at the school enables they to achieve the aim to help the students to develop into the very best they can be.
Key Stage 3
All students follow a broad and balanced curriculum at KS3. There is complete coverage of the National Curriculum. Students have lessons in RE, PSHCE including RSHE, mathematics, English, reading, science, PE, computing, history, geography, drama, music, art, French, an additional modern language (from a choice of German, Spanish and Mandarin), Design Technology and Food technology.
Key Stage 4
The Piggott School has been operating a three year Key Stage 4 for over a decade. It is firmly established and very successful. It best prepares children for their examinations, future choices and gives them the opportunity to choose a good number of subjects from a wide range of options. They feel that a three year KS4 is also beneficial to the children’s mental health by staggering the content elements of GCSE over a longer period of time. The three year KS4 improves the ability to offer a broad and rich curriculum which exceeds the national curriculum. It provides a seamless transition from KS3 into KS4 for all children.
Key Stage 5
The sixth form provision is outstanding with over thirty different subjects on offer. The curriculum is built around the choices of our students rather than from predefined option block choices. They offer pathways in A levels, vocational subjects, hybrid A level and vocational and a coaching academy. They also have a highly successful girls’ football academy choice as an extra‐curricular offer. Students also have PE, RE, tutor and assemblies time built into their curriculum together with academic support and mentoring. They employ advice and guidance mentors to assist students with their pastoral needs and academic aspirations as well as more and most able advisors to assist with EPQ, Oxbridge, medical, veterinary science and dental applications.
Extra Curricular Clubs
All extra-curricular sports clubs are free of charge and students are invited to turn up on the day. Students will need to scan a QR code to register their attendance. Students should only wear their PE to school if they have PE. If they have a club after school, they should bring their PE kit and change into their PE kit after school.
Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At The Piggott School they welcome students with special educational needs and disabilities as part of the community and they aim to ensure that all students have equal opportunities and access to engage in a broad and balanced curriculum. Some of the students will need additional support to ensure access to the whole curriculum. To achieve this they work in partnership with parents and carers, valuing their views and contributions and keeping them fully involved in their child’s education. The student is also involved, where possible, in decision making about their support. They believe that the effective education of students with SEND can only be achieved through a whole school approach endorsed enthusiastically by all staff.
