Sixth Formers are asked to support the main school by wearing uniform smartly and in the spirit of a business environment. As Sixth Formers are role models for younger pupils, for example as helpers in lessons and mentors, the spirit in which students dress is very important to the whole school. The basics are: Suit Sixth Form tie Plain white, grey, blue or black shirt, suitable for wearing with the Sixth Form tie. No patterned, checked or striped shirts. Plain black or brown shoes* or boots.
