From the The Piggott School
"To be a School that inspires and supports the best success."
Love, or Agape, is at the heart of who we are as a Christian community.
In order to encourage our children to embrace our learning community and pursue education for life in all its completeness, our Christian school values embody the fruits of the spirit.
We are committed to educating a generation so that they would "go and do likewise" with these principles.
"Love your neighbour as yourself," and "Go and do likewise," are the delivery and message.
Galatians 5: 22–23, the Fruits of the Spirit, serve as the foundation for the school's values.
The school's daily operations will be infused with the vision and principles.
Opportunities for lofty aspirations and brave advocacy will be provided by the school's learning culture.
All students will follow an excellent, very effective religious education programme that offers chances to study, comprehend, and reflect on inclusion and diversity via Christianity and other faiths.
The school will keep making sure that students receive the greatest academic results possible that lead to the right destinations.
All parties involved in the school's community will be able to state the institution's Christian vision and explain how it affects students.
It will be clear from the group's culture and behaviours.
The school will have a unique Church of England identity and will actively encourage chances for people to reflect on their faith.
Everyone in the school community will have the chance to grow spiritually.
Our children will become lifelong learners who obtain the highest results by having high aspirations, resilience, and humility thanks to the Christian spirit of the school.
But the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control are the fruits of the Spirit.
He responded, "Love your neighbour as yourself and the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, might, and mind, according to the Golden Rule [a].
However, in an effort to defend himself, he questioned Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?"
Jesus replied by saying: "A guy was being attacked by thieves as he descended from Jerusalem to Jericho.
He was left half-dead after they stripped him of his clothes, thrashed him, and fled.
A priest who was passing by on the opposite side of the road happened to be travelling in the same direction as the man.
However, a Samaritan came to where the man was while travelling, and when he saw him, he felt sorry for him.
He went to him and applied oil and wine to his wounds while bandaging them.
He mounted his own donkey, took the man to an inn, and cared for him there.
Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'.
"The one who had mercy on him," the legal expert retorted.

If you are the parent of a child with SEND and has an EHCP, Piggott school is not the place to send your child. The quality of staff supporting your child will be either very poor or non existent.
