Open Evening and Open Days

Choosing a secondary school that your child will be happy and thrive in is a big decision.  This is a major milestone in your child's life and the decision is an important one. If you are considering The Piggott School, we encourage you and your child to attend at least one of our open events.

Open Evening 2023: Thursday 28th September 2023

On Thursday, 28th September, starting at 5pm and finishing at 8pm, parents and prospective students are invited to our annual Open Evening. There will be a short presentation at 5pm, which will be repeated at 6pm and at 7pm. You will have the opportunity to tour our school, meet with staff and pupils and ask any questions you may have. NO NEED TO BOOK.

This is a very popular and busy evening. There will be limited parking on site so you are strongly encouraged to walk or take public transport. Some parking may be on a grass pitch area which, weather dependent, could be somewhat muddy.

In preparation for the coronation our students will be exploring what the coronation is, what it means, and the role of the King. The coronation is an important opportunity to celebrate together but it also offers an opportunity for us to reflect and be grateful for what we have and for us to offer support for our community. As such I would like to signpost a useful website that raises awareness of volunteering – The Big Help Out. The objective of the Big Help Out is to inspire people to make a difference and to bring communities together through celebration and community spirit. We would love our students and their families to get involved as we continue to promote our vision of ‘Go and Do Likewise.’

Easter Egg donation request for Readifood charity on Thursday 23 & Friday 24 March - chance to win Form Pizza Party 

Well done to the School Council for organising the non-uniform day and two bake sales! Thank you so much to everyone for their generosity to raise money for DEC Turkey-Syria earthquake appeal. In total we raised an amazing £1865.84. This is a superb effort, especially with the cost of living crisis. This money will make such a difference to those in need of vital supplies.

I was so impressed with the superb quality of the cakes that came in, so thank you again. I’d also like to thank the school council members for their brilliant help in selling and promoting the baked goods. We had so many donations in that we decided to run the bake sale over 2 days.
