It is a great honour to be the Headteacher and I am humbled and privileged to have the opportunity to lead such a wonderful school. I believe our school provides the correct balance and blend of academic challenge, enrichment and personal care that allows for the holistic development of each and every student. My aim as Headteacher is to broaden horizons and liberate potential. The quality of teaching and learning at our school enables us to achieve our aim of helping every student to develop into the very best they can be. The care and guidance offered at The Piggott School by our truly outstanding staff provide a culture and ethos, based on our school Christian values, which will successfully help every child to develop into active citizens of tomorrow. We aim to fully prepare each individual for further study, adulthood and working life and to safeguard and promote their well-being. My staff passionately advocate the importance of recognising every child as an individual: with their own gifts and talents, their own needs and aspirations and the ability to make a wonderful contribution and a positive difference to each other, our thriving school community, your families and the community at large. Our mission is to inspire and encourage the highest achievement for all and this is once again evidenced by our outstanding examination results.
