Sixth Form

Standards

All Sixth Form students play a vital role in the smooth organisation of our community as well as providing leadership and role models for younger students. You are expected to set an outstanding example in all aspects of your work, conduct and appearance in smart, business attire. This will prepare you for possible future careers, where in many you will be obligated to follow a dress code. The dress code secures safeguarding practices supporting easy identification, ensuring suitable clothing coverage and enables all students to maintain a positive working environment.

In preparation for completing your Sixth Form studies with us our expected dress code is as follows:

  • A two-piece navy suit (including suit jacket and trousers or skirt) from Clive Marks or Crested School Wear.
  • A formal, collared shirt or blouse (it must cover the shoulder, stomach area and not have a low neckline).
  • Smart, formal shoes.
  • Hair and make-up should be discreet and of a natural colour.
  • An ID lanyard (supplied by the school).

 

Optional items include:

  • A tie.
  • Plain tights.

The following items are not permitted:

  • Any outdoor coats being worn inside the building.
  • Casual tops (including vests, sweatshirts, bardot/cold shoulder tops, polo shirts and t-shirts). 
  • Trainers
  • Jumpers (including ones with a ¼ zip).
  • Leather or denim items (including coats).
  • Tongue, facial or visible body piercings.

 

The school reserves the right to send home any student who is not properly dressed where he or she should change into correct dress and then return to school the same day to resume studies. The Head of Sixth Form/ Headteacher has the final decision about what is acceptable under this dress code.
