For Sixth From/KS5
Sixth Form students are not expected to wear school uniform. However as role models for the younger pupils in the school, students must dress in a manner appropriate to their position as senior members of the school community. Therefore we expect students to dress casually, but smartly and it must be appropriate to the school environment. Extremes of hair style or colour, facial piercings or ear spacers, or extremes of makeup are not permitted
