SL6 Dress Code

A dress code is important as it helps to ensure there is parity for all students and it ensures there is respect for the whole school community. Dress code and appearance of sixth formers must reflect the senior position in school and it therefore needs to be decent, safe and appropriate to a school setting. This may mean that this is very different to the choices adopted in your personal life.

• Students must wear a plain, matching business tailored 2- or 3-piece suit (in colours black, blue or grey) with a collared shirt and tie or blouse or round necked top. Girls may also wear tailored dresses with a black jacket.
