Dress Code

Sixth form dress code at Shenley Brook End

We want our sixth form students to be ready for learning in a modern sixth form. Therefore, we do not have a uniform for students, but we do expect sixth form students to be dressed in a smart manner. This demonstrates the right attitudes for learning and sets the right example for students in years 7 to 11.

We say smart casual wear, but many people are not sure what that means.

 

Here are guidelines to help you:

What is smart casual?

  • Trousers - of varying colours are okay as fashion does change a little
  • Smarter, more tailored plain cargos are allowed
  • Skirts of a reasonable length
  • Polo shirts
  • Plain t-shirts with no large logos
  • Blouses/shirts
  • Cardigans and jumpers (plain pullover sweatshirts or cotton/woollen)
  • Suits
  • Corduroy material dresses/trousers
  • Dresses of a reasonable length
  • Shorts of chino material (in hot weather)
  • Plain shoes/boots
  • Piercings in the ears and nose only
  • Leggings if worn with a smart top – with no mid-riff showing
  • BLACK canvas shoes
  • Hoodies – that are plain, and you take off in school

 

These are not smart casual:

  • Denim jeans/jackets of any colour
  • Sports trainers of any colour (PE have a uniform)
  • NO Crocs
  • Shorts (unless in hot weather – but no jersey/sports/denim material shorts)
  • Hoodies – with HUGE logos
  • Joggers
  • Gym Wear
  • Clothing with large logos
  • Jackets or coats worn inside
  • Hats worn inside – that includes durags
  • Skirts/Dresses above end of fingertip length
  • Thigh high boots or super high heels
  • Spaghetti strap tops
  • Sliders
  • Crop Tops
  • Leggings - if worn with crop tops and therefore are very revealing
  • Extreme hair colours
  • Extreme colours are ones that stand out too much e.g. bright pink

When in school we do not want to have to discuss uniform with sixth form students. Students not dressed correctly will be asked to correct it once. If the dress code is not followed, students will be sent home to change. If the dress code continues to be ignored, this will be a disciplinary issue.

When fashion changes the guidelines may have to adapt with these changes in fashion.
