Our School Dress Code
There is no standard uniform in the Sixth form, but students should remember that it is a formal working environment and dress in a way that does not detract from this. All clothing must also meet Health and Safety requirements. A summary of the main points in the dress code are stated below. For a full comprehensive guide to Sixth Form dress code, please see the ‘Sixth Form Uniform Policy 2026’ document.
None of the following are permitted in school:
- Offensive slogans on any clothing
- Flip-flops or sliders
- Very short skirts or shorts
- Any gym wear (including track suits, lycra leggings or shorts, football shirts or shorts)
- Ripped jeans
- Vest tops with very thin straps
- Crop tops that expose the midriff
- Hats/headwear, with the exception of that worn for religious or cultural reasons.
It is essential that all Sixth Form students wear their ID badge on the provided lanyard around their neck so that it is clearly visible at all times. This is a legal requirement.
The guidance above is not exhaustive, and the Sixth Form Team reserves the right to make decisions regarding the suitability of a student’s clothing. Any student who is considered to be dressed inappropriately will be required to go home and change into appropriate attire before returning to school.
