In 1796 Robert Piggott endowed a school for the ‘Instruction and Clothing of 20 boys and 20 girls in the parish of Wargrave’. In 1862 a school was built on School Hill, the site of the current Junior School. This school became increasingly crowded however and in 1908 the Infant children were given their own school. Finally a new school was opened for the Infants in 1963 on its current site in Beverley Gardens. The Infant and Junior Schools, as well as Crazies Hill Primary and The Piggott Senior School, are all part of the Robert Piggott Trust. The Infant and Junior Schools Formed a Federation, under a single Governing Body, in 2010.
The infant School sits in extensive and secure grounds. We are fortunate to have attractive outdoor classrooms including outdoor musical instruments and an Early Years’ garden. ‘Anne’s Garden’ is a separate quiet area, with flowers and benches. In addition there is a pond and wildlife area.
The Junior School has a wonderful garden, pond and outdoor teaching area situated behind the school. These excellent resources are utilised for all areas of the curriculum and staff take full advantage of the teaching opportunities they provide.
The schools have a rich curriculum and a wealth of extra-curricular activities. The schools make ample use of the surrounding area, including using Mumbery Field and Bowsey Woods for our Forest Schools. We have strong artistic and sporting traditions, with the Junior School Girls Football Team current borough champions.
We are committed to nurturing our children to flourish in mind, body & spirit, enabling them to become confident, creative and resilient learners who contribute positively to our local and global community. We are a dynamic community, inspiring one another to grow in grace, courage & friendship.
