To be deemed an appropriate length, the hem of the skirt must not be higher than where the student’s fingertips reach when their arms are flat against their side. Any skirts with hems that are higher than this will be deemed inappropriate and the relevant sanction will be issued.

For all Sixth Form students

Our aim is to establish a clear distinction between what is worn socially at weekends, and in the evenings, and what is worn during the working week. Remember that sixth formers set an example to the rest of the school. The judgement of the Head of Sixth Form in matters of interpretation of the Sixth Form dress code is final.
Students’ appearance will be monitored by their tutors; they will be reminded of our regulations and expected to conform. Where there is a problem, students will be issued with a behaviour point in accordance with the behaviour system.
