The Purpose of a Dress Code
Within Sixth Form we expect students to wear our Dress Code. We are clear about our dress code and adopt one for the following reasons:
- Inclusion – clothing for school/Sixth Form should be affordable and practical
- Safeguarding – we need to recognise, with ease, the people who should be present on site
- Identity – it is important that we are viewed as a cohesive learning community
Student ID/access passes must be worn and be clearly visible at all times.
Dress Code
- Plain black, white or grey tops
- Plain black, white or grey jumper
- Black trousers or black jeans only
- Standard length, plain black or grey skirt or dress (black/grey/plain)
- Plain black footwear
A Shared Understanding
All dress should be appropriate for a professional working environment
We consider the above statement to mean:
- Tops must have no patterns / pictures / stripes (inc. pinstripe)/ large logos
- Trousers must be worn to the waist. Blue / grey / faded denim should not be worn.
- No low cut tops or bare midriffs / no strappy or cut-away tops / exposed shoulders
- No visible body piercings except pierced ears. No extreme piercings will be allowed (e.g. Scaffold piercings, expanders etc). No visible tattoos
- Hair should be a natural colour and appropriate style. Make up, including nail polish, should be suitable for a professional working environment
- No outdoor wear to be worn inside school or in classrooms
