The original school, which is now the site of Shinfield infant school, was founded in 1707 by Richard Piggott. The current site was opened in 1968 but the school’s popularity led to another expansion in 2018; making the school a three-form entry setting.

Robert Piggott CofE Schools are a Federated Infant and Junior School working very much as one with a shared Vision, values and school community.
The children at our schools flourish into the confident, creative and resilient learners we aspire for them to be in our Vision.
Located at the heart of Wargrave, our schools are a highly regarded part of the local community. The school community however does not just come from the village but welcomes families from the wider Twyford, Charvil and Woodley areas as well.
As church schools, our Christian values are embedded in our ethos and curriculum as are our school values of Grace, Courage and Friendship.
We are proud of our children’s behaviour and enthusiastic approach to lessons, of their kindness to each other, their curiosity and the strong spiritual sense they develop. We are equally proud of our rich and vibrant curriculum and the high academic standards our children attain.
Good education is a partnership between children, teachers, parents and governors, and everyone is committed to enabling your child to experience a happy, secure environment where they can develop a love of learning.
