Dress Code
Sixth Form students in Year 12 and 13 are expected to wear business / smart wear. The guiding principles for all items are:
- Would I wear this to an interview?
- Does it engender a sense of community and belonging towards the school?
- Is it practical and smart?
- There should not be social pressures to dress in a particular way.
