The majority of students prefer to have a dress code in the Sixth Form, as this saves competitive dressing and the daily anxiety over what to wear.
We expect you to dress as if you are working in a business/ office environment, thus low-cut tops, strappy tops, shorts, flip flops etc are not acceptable.
Issues with the dress code will be dealt with by Form Tutors in the first instance. Students may be asked to return home to change into appropriate clothing.
Footwear
Footwear must be plain, black or brown and polishable. Plimsolls, knee high boots and canvas shoes/trainers are not acceptable. Footwear should be suitable for an office environment.
Trousers
Plain black or grey trousers – this does not include black/grey denim or denim effect fabric. Trousers should be full length, plain cut, of a traditional style and with no studs or buttons. Skinny jeans, jean style chinos, black/grey jeans, leggings or jeggings are not permitted.
Skirts
Black, grey or burgundy (plain or patterned) and of a sensible length (mid-thigh or lower)
No denim material is permitted.
Fabric jersey / stretch / bodycon skirts are also not permitted as we believe that these are not appropriate business attire.
Dresses
Dresses can be worn but need to be black, grey or burgundy (plain or patterned) and of a sensible length (mid-thigh or lower)
No denim material is permitted.
Fabric jersey / stretch / bodycon dresses are also not permitted as we believe that these are not appropriate business attire.
