Dress Expectations

Sixth Form Dress Expectations

Although there is no Sixth Form uniform you must be dressed in a manner that is appropriate to a Sixth Form student. Inappropriate or offensive clothing will not be allowed.

Following consultation with a steer group of current Y11 and Y12 students and recognising the Sixth Form students’ position as role models within our school and wider community,

The emphasis is a ‘smart casual’ approach.

We want our Sixth Form to look work ready whilst remaining at ease and comfortable. Although initially we felt a ‘don’t’ list sounded rather negative it perhaps is useful when defining our guidelines. Following the consultation it was agreed that there should be:

• No tracksuit or jogging bottoms, running tights, football shirts.

• Nothing with holes or rips.

• No leggings unless worn under a dress or skirt.

• No very short skirts

• No shorts (may be reviewed in the summer months).

• No cropped or revealing tops.

• No facial piercings (except a discrete stud in the nose).

IF YOU ARE BREAKING THE CODE YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL SITE AND RETURN APPROPRIATELY DRESSED
