Sixth Form Uniform

Sixth Form Uniform Expectations   

At Lift Bexleyheath Sixth Form, we believe that high standards of dress reflect the high standards we set for learning and behaviour. Our dress code is designed to prepare students for the professional environments they will enter after Sixth Form, while also giving them the opportunity to express themselves in a smart and appropriate way.

• All Sixth Form students should be dressed in clothing suitable for an office environment.

• Blazers or jackets must be worn by Sixth Form students.

• Clothing must not be skin tight or revealing.

• Skirts must be knee length or lower. 

• Sixth Form students wishing to wear Islamic clothing must not wear bright colours; these must also not be embellished.

• Sixth Form students are permitted to wear jewellery; however, this must be removed when taking part in a physical activity that could cause harm such as Drama, Sports, etc. 

• Sixth Form students must wear footwear which is professional. Shoes must be polishable. Sixth Form students must not wear open toed shoes or sandals. 

• Sixth Form students are permitted to wear makeup; although the makeup should not be excessive.

Why We Have a Uniform Expectations? 

Our dress expectations encourage students to take pride in their appearance, build self-confidence, and develop the professional habits that will serve them well in further education, training, and employment.
