As part of our commitment to our "Students First" principles we give all new starter students £35* towards their business dress.
Outwood Academy Hemsworth Post 16 Centre Business Dress

It is the responsibility of the student to maintain the boundaries of acceptable business dress and presentation. In all cases the judgement of the Principal/Director of Post 16 will be final on matters of acceptable dress and presentation. Students should consult with the Principal before having a facial piercing or wearing an item of clothing about which they are unclear as to its suitability.
If any student is unsure about any item of clothing, they are to keep the receipt and bring the item(s) into the Centre to have it checked by the Principal/Director of Post 16 as to its suitability
