Dress code

The Sixth Form Dress Code is compulsory for all members of the Sixth Form. The dress code has been devised to create an appropriate balance between smartness and the need to express individual style. As the most senior students in the school we insist on high standards of appearance and for students to be easily recognised within, and beyond, our school community.
