Dress Code


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. Students are asked to regard VIth Form dress requirements in a positive manner.

It is increasingly common for VIth Forms to have an expectation that students come into school wearing business dress, i.e. for boys wearing shirt and tie. The aim is to have a smart appearance that allows a degree of personal choice. However, your school is a workplace and your appearance should reflect that.

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.
