Sixth-form dress & presentation

Expectations

All Sixth Formers are expected to look smart and be attired and otherwise presented in a manner which befits a professional work-place, and which does credit to the students themselves and to the School.  This applies both to when students are at school and
to when they are representing the School in any capacity.

Dress Code

The following guidelines should be understood and respected, and their observance in spirit is at least as important as their observance to the letter.

•  Smart, tailored, plain-weave suit of dark colour (trouser-suit or skirt-suit for girls)

•  Appropriate plain shirt or (for girls) blouse

•  Appropriate tie (or open-necked blouse for girls)

•  Clean, smart, black shoes of a design and type which not only are appropriate for a      suit but which are also safe (e.g. not too high in the heel, not too slippery of sole)

•  Neat, clean hair of a reasonable length and style (e.g.which is not readily interpretable     as 'making a statement')

•  Decorous (not gaudy) make-up and jewellery (girls only)

Advisory Note: Before Purchase

For the avoidance of unnecessary expense, disappointment and trouble, it should be noted that it is the responsibility of each student and parent/guardian to check with the School beforehand if they are in any doubt as to what any of these expectations may or may not imply. This applies in particular to key-words such as 'reasonable',' neat', 'appropriate' and 'smart'.
