The aim of the Sixth Form dress code is to ensure students are dressed smartly, professionally and in a formal/business style. As role models for younger students and ambassadors for our school it is important that Sixth Form students reflect the professionalism, high aspirations and desire for excellence that characterises the work of the school.
Sixth Form ties cost £5 each and can only be purchased from the school.
