"A Very Good School with Some Areas for Improvement"

We have been generally very pleased with our child's experience at The Piggott School. The school has a great atmosphere and the teachers are mostly very good. However, we have experienced some difficulties with the online payment system, and we would like to see more opportunities for parent involvement in school decision-making.

We have been extremely happy with our child's experience at The Piggott School. The values of the school, such as compassion and kindness, are truly embedded in the culture and we have seen our child grow into a confident and caring young person. The facilities are also excellent, with excellent sports facilities and a wonderful library.
