Sixth form Dress code
SIXTH FORM DRESS CODE
Our sixth form are student leaders in the school community. Their dress and appearance must therefore be appropriate to support and encourage the ethos of the school and the uniform and appearance policies in operation in Years 7 to 11.
We do not expect you to wear a uniform for school but we do expect you to follow this dress code: you are ambassadors for the college and you set the standards which aspiring learners in lower year groups will follow.
Sixth form students are required to wear their ID badge visibly at all times when in college.

If the dress code has been breached, we will follow the appropriate routes:
- Tutors are responsible for the monitoring of the dress code so will highlight this to students in the first instance and inform parents if continual
- Students may be asked to go home and change if no improvement
- The Director of Post-16 Studies reserves the right to ask students who persistently do not adhere to the dress code to leave the College.
