Calculators
We recommend the Casio fx83GT-CW for students in Key Stage 3 & 4
We have put links to WHSmith, although they may not be the cheapest, they are reputable. We have experience of students ordering calculators from Amazon and they are fake and give incorrect answers to some questions. We recommend that you do buy one from a reputable retailer.
Football Boots
Students require moulded stud football boots for sport on the 3G pitch and grass pitches; we also recommend shin pads. Prices start at around £20 from Sports Direct. The photos below show images of the correct footwear and also football that is not suitable. Please do not purchase Astro Turf boots, these are not suitable.
We have also included some links for the correct boots which are available on the Sports Direct website to help you.
