In Post 16 it is essential that all students present themselves in a business-like manner. This is to prepare our students for the world of work.
Please find below the dress code when you are a Post 16 student:
Blazer: Smart, formal office style. A fine knit jumper with a round, v or roll neck may be worn under the jacket but not instead of.
Tops: Blouse or shirt with sleeves to be worn under the jacket. No logos, narrow straps or low necklines. Sweatshirts and polo shirts are not appropriate.
Skirts/Dresses: Must be knee-length when standing. No body-con, jersey, denim, corduroy, leather, leather effect skirts/dresses, as these are not formal business wear. Dark coloured opaque tights must also be worn.
