VIth Form students are regarded as role models for students across the school, and their standards of dress are an important part of the culture of the VIth Form.
It is increasingly common for VIth Forms to have an expectation that students come into school wearing business dress; if you take pride in your appearance you are more likely to take pride in yourself and your work. We believe that insisting upon a smart appearance reflective of many workplaces, supports students to prepare for the future with confidence and professionalism.
It is vital that you wear your student lanyard at all times when on school site, this is a safeguarding issue. Any lost lanyards will be charged at £3 to replace.
