Uniform

Please see details of the school uniform and how to purchase  here. As you may be aware we operate a “House” system within the Piggott School. The sweatshirts have different coloured logos to represent the Houses. Parents will have received a letter informing them of the House that they will join so that the correct colour can be purchased. Please see the below leaflets on current arrangments to buy uniform from our suppliers Stevensons and Different Class (PE kit)

Equipment

You will find a list of recommended equipment in the information booklet and letters sent to you in the post.

Calculators for maths

It has come to our attention that the recommended calculator (Casio fx-83GT Plus) has been discontinued and replaced with a newer version (Casio fx-83GTX). The updated version can be purchased from the following link for approximately £12: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-fx-83GTX-Scientific-Calculator-Black/dp/B07L5YWTPH/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=casio+fx+-+83gtx&qid=1594816012&sr=8-3.

It is also available in blue and pink!
