cheers

Try Axminster's Jack-Saw brand - about £6 plus vat each for 1 off. You should be able to beg an educational discount for 20 off. These are hardened and claim to last 5 times as long as ordinary ones. Unless you are going to get the metalwork dept to sharpen them for you, paying the saw doctor for a re-set and sharpen a conventional, more expensive saw will be dearer than replacement. These should give you good value for money.

BTW pop along to the English department to get your OP marked

=================== Since you're working in a school you'll probably find you're restricted to buying from a scheduled supplier. Ask your Technology adviser - you'll probably get the best price through him / her.

Alternatively look at:

for some good prices.

Got to get that apostrophe key fixed, we are not restricted to any particular supplier, Thanks to the suggestions so far.

You probably want a fairly ordinary general-purpose saw such as:

should certainly be able to get something reasonable for =A320 (give or take). No harm in asking for discount. Try your local BM just in case - they may do a special. I would not go for a cheap hard-point saw, it won't instil any sort of "quality" into their heads, and they're not so nice to use. A brass back saw looks nice too. Re Bob's comment on sharpening, a) this shouldn't be necessary very often, and b) the cost should be about =A33.5 per saw.
