We fully expect students to adhere to the Sixth Form dress code. Students found not to be following this may be sent home to change, or alternatives sought from the school.

The dress code is one suitable for a working environment, avoiding items which are too casual. Through our dress code we aim to:

• Encourage pride in the school
• Support teaching and learning
• Encourage a sense of equality and cohesion
• Support Sixth Form students to act as leaders and role models for the rest of the school

All Sixth Form Students

• A plain grey suit, which must be purchased from our Uniform Suppliers, comprising a jacket and the matching trousers or skirt between the knee and ankle of the same colour and material as the jacket.
• Any shirt, top or blouse (these can be plain, patterned or striped). This must be smart and not display a large logo or motif. It must have sleeves, short or long. Smart jewellery, scarves and accessories may be worn.
• A School issued House-coloured lanyard and ID badge must also be worn at all times.

Sixth Formers may wear earrings.  They may also wear a small nose stud (not a hoop).  No other visible piercings are permitted. 

The following may not be worn:

• Hoodies
• Very short or very long skirts, low-cut tops, jumpers which cannot be worn beneath the suit jacket.
• Trainers, canvas shoes, pumps, boots of a suede or snow variety such as UGG boots, or flip flops. Trousers must not be tucked into boots.

Outdoor clothing must not be worn in school. Suit jackets must be worn at all times in the main school building.

Students engaged in practical activities (e.g. PE, Drama) may bring suitable clothing to wear for those lessons, but change back into formal clothes/shoes at the end of the lesson.

If you opt for a science A Level a lab coat can be purchased through the science department.

If you choose to study A Level Art an art overall can be borrowed from the Art department.

The uniform policy and dress code have been approved by the Governing body after due consideration of legislative requirements, non-statutory guidance, pupil safety, and religious and cultural practices.
