SIXTH FORM DRESS CODE
Sixth Form Dress Code
We expect smart students who take pride in their appearance. We also expect them to act as role models to younger students and be prepared for the world of work where smartness is an expectation.
All students must wear their lanyard and I.D. badge so that it is noticeable at all times unless they are taking part in an educational activity where it is unsuitable to wear one.
