Students will be clear about the expectations of business dress and we expect that they will take responsibility for ensuring the Sixth Form’s standards are maintained and that the Sixth Form is represented at its best to the rest of the school and the local community at all times.

Students who do not meet the standards will be sent home to amend their dress. If students or parents/carers are in any doubt about suitable items, they can contact the Sixth Form before purchasing.
