Dress Code

Simon Balle All-through School Sixth Form Dress Code

Sixth Form students are expected to set an example to the rest of the school through their high standard of business-like dress and the way they present themselves. The intention of the Sixth Form dress code is to maintain the smart appearance of the lower school years. A Sixth Form student should be able to leave the school site and immediately attend a formal interview without having to change their appearance.

The Sixth Form dress code is smart office wear and the requirements are as follows:

Preferably a suit – (i.e. navy, grey or black) tailored jacket
Shirt with a tie and tailored trousers

V – neck jumper
Shirt with a tie and tailored trousers
Smart dark shoes (not trainers or other casual shoes)

Suit (preferably a dark colour) – i.e. jacket
Matching tailored skirt or full length tailored trousers,
Tailored jacket with tailored skirt, trousers or dress

Cardigan/V – neck jumper with tailored skirt, trousers or dress
Fitted shirt or smart top without logos.
Smart dark shoes (not trainers or other casual shoes)

Exclusions

No hooded tops. Denim jeans, skirts or jackets. Leather jackets or skirts. Sweat tops. White socks. Vans. Doctor Marten Boots. Plimsoll type shoes.

Sixth Form students should pride themselves on their professional approach to school and therefore ensure that they are dressed appropriately. Facial piercings other than a nose stud are not permitted and school ID badges must be worn at all times. Any form of denim clothing is not considered appropriate Sixth Form attire.

This is a school, so clothing should not be viewed as offensive, revealing or provocative. Shirts and blouses must cover the midriff. Vest tops, low cut tops or tops that reveal midriffs or shoulders are not suitable. For practical lessons students may need to bring in appropriate clothing for that lesson, but should change back immediately following that lesson.

Our dress code is a clear expectation that everyone must maintain in order to be part of our Sixth Form. Take pride in your appearance and in being part of the Simon Balle Sixth Form.

Any student who breaches the school dress code can expect to be sent home to change.

The Sixth Form Team are happy to advise and will give the final decision on dress, if necessary.
