Sixth Form Dress Code

Sixth Form students are expected to maintain a smart, professional appearance appropriate to their specialisms. Consider carefully the neckline, length and transparency of material. All Sixth Form students are provided with an ID badge which MUST be worn at all times

Standards of dress and personal presentation are relevant to all students. Minimum standards of personal presentation will be expected and any student who is unacceptably dressed will be sent home and be subject to possible further sanctions. In general, standards of dress should be smart, fit for purpose and portray a favourable impression of the Sixth Form.
