Introduction

• The sixth form are the leading students in the school community. Sixth form dress therefore both reflects and sets the tone and the standard for the rest of the student body.
• Sixth form dress needs to reflect the nature of students’ purpose in school. Dress that is smart, dignified, and modest reflects this purpose through the respect it shows to others and the seriousness of intent that it demonstrates.
• Sixth form study is about encouraging independence of mind and an intellectually creative mind. The dress code allows a student’s individuality without compromising the school’s high standards.
• Many sixth form students will go on to professional or skilled jobs where there is a dress code that reflects the ethos and status of that company or organisation. The sixth form dress code therefore acts as a bridge between education and employment.
• Sixth form students work with teaching and support staff in a professional capacity. Sixth form dress needs to reflect that professional relationship.
