Sixth Form Dress Code
This code has been designed by the Sixth Form Committee and approved by the School’s Senior Management Team.
This is intended to reinforce to Sixth Formers that they are the senior students within the school and will be treated accordingly by staff. However, it is very important that these guidelines are not exploited. The emphasis must be on maintaining a smart and formal appearance in what is, after all, a professional working environment.

Name Tags for Boarders
All articles brought to school MUST BE marked with woven name tapes. Please would parents of boarders not use iron-on name labels as these all too readily come off in the wash and have been clogging up the school washing machines and dryers? Alternatively, you may consider using easy fix clip on labels; information may be found on their website: nametag-it.co.uk
