The Piggott School
Reading, RG10 8DS · Wokingham · all-through school
3rd of 9 secondary schools in Wokingham we can score, 10 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 291 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9/10 among them, against 9.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 74.6 · 93 | 30% | 2.79 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.74 · 92 | 25% | 2.31 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 61.9 · 94 | 10% | 0.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023. In 2024/25, 74.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 61.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.74 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9 out of 10 among them, against 9.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Orchestra, Debate Club, and Investing Club, or play for Reading FC Kicks and the Girls’ Cricket team. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 1885 pupils in a capacity of 1548, meaning it is over capacity by 337. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who need extra help to reach the national attainment median? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
