Year 6 to 7 Transition
Changing schools is a big step. We try to make the move to The Piggott School an enjoyable experience by ensuring that the transfer is as smooth and trouble-free as possible. Please find below some key information on the transition process.
Key Dates
Please see below some key dates for Year 6 students moving up to Year 7 at The Piggott in September 2021.
1st March 2021 - National Offer Day
March/April 2021 - Welcome packs are sent to parents

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!
