Sixth form dress code
In recognition of their growing maturity and independence, the dress code for the Sixth Form
is “business dress” for both boys and girls. This is intended to strike a balance between
individuality and the need to represent the school to the wider community. We hope that Sixth
Formers will recognise the importance of taking pride in a smart appearance appropriate to a place
of work and of setting an example to younger pupils.
City Dress
- A smart business suit in Dark Colours – Navy, Black or Charcoal Grey
- A smart business shirt/blouse – Pink, Blue or White or combinations
- Black shoes
Any business suit from the major department stores that fits the above criteria would normally
be deemed appropriate.
Specific issues for boys and girls are listed below.

to any purchase to confirm the suitability of any items.
