6th Form Dress Code

Established June 2022: Student/Teacher/Support Staff working party

Our sixth form dress code recognises a student’s transition from main school into sixth form. The code allows a high degree of personal choice. Our guidance is that students must dress appropriately for a professional environment and place of work and study.

YES PLEASE!

  • Only outer garments visible
  • Midriffs covered completely by tops; midriffs should not be exposed.
  • Tops with neck lines starting no lower than the top of the armpit. 
  • Hoodies may be worn but strictly with hoods down.

YES PLEASE!

  • Natural hair colour
  • If you have dyed your hair an unnatural colour during the holiday period, we request you allow time for this to grow out before the beginning of term.

YES PLEASE!

  • Students must have their school lanyard visible at all times on the school site. 
TATTOOS AND BODY PIERCINGS

Tattoos – We recognise at the age of 18 yrs, some students wish to express their character through a tattoo. Please read this guidance. 

  • No offensive tattoos (racist, homophobic etc.)
  • No full limb tattoos
  • No face, hand or neck tattoos
  • Tattoos kept covered

 

Piercings – The following types of piercings are acceptable:

  • Ear
  • Discreet nose piercing
  • One other discreet facial piercing

The senior leadership and sixth form staff teams reserve the right to decide what is appropriate dress for a place of study. Should the dress of a student not be deemed suitable for our environment, it can result in a member of staff having a conversation with a student about their dress (see dress code policy guidance). This conversation will be noted on Bromcom and in some cases, can result in a student being asked to work in the sixth form area or being asked to go home to change.
