6th Form Dress Code

Guiding Principle
The Sixth Form are ambassadors for the school and role models and although they are not required to wear uniform, we therefore expect them to be suitably dressed for a professional environment.

Students are not required to wear a uniform, but should look smart and tidy at all times. It is acknowledged that there is a subjective element in determining what is considered appropriate dress, and the school therefore reserves the right to determine the required standards in individual cases.

Clothing must be suitable for a working environment, presentable with no unsightly rips or inappropriate text.

Clothing not permitted includes: hot-pants (including ‘Nike Pro’ shorts); ripped jeans/trousers; clothing that is revealing through being low-cut; clothing that reveals pupil midriffs; clothing that is made of material that is transparent.

Allowed:

• Jumpers, sweatshirts, cardigans, pullovers
• Blouses, t-shirts, high-neck tank tops
• Trousers, jeans, corduroys, cargo trousers
• Sensible office footwear, presentable trainers
• Skirts and shorts that reach the top of the knee when standing

Unless otherwise specified, this dress code applies for school trips and visits.

Not Allowed:

• Hoodies (other than for sport)
• Spaghetti straps/thin strap tops, low-cut necklines
• Leggings, jogging pants, ripped jeans/trousers, ‘Nike Pro’ shorts
• Crocs, Uggs, sandals, flip-flops, open-toed shoes
• Inappropriately revealing clothing e.g. showing off midriffs or clothing made of material that is transparent
• There should be no visible body piercings other than in the ears, except for religious reasons.

PE/Enrichment Days

On days when students have PE lessons and/or have a physical activity to do in your Enrichment period, you are permitted to wear your sportswear all day.

Sportswear should be comfortable and allow for free movement without being revealing either in cut or fabric.
