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.
