Aims

• That Sixth Form students look smart, ready to work and act as good ambassadors for the Minster School
• That they act as role models to which other students aspire
• That the differences between their dress and the rest of the school mark them out as more mature, responsible young adults and are immediately recognisable as Sixth Form students

Overall statement: Sixth Form students should dress appropriately for a school or office environment, wearing clothes that give them a professional appearance. In all cases, branding should be minimal and without large logos.

This includes:

Shirts or blouses (ties optional)

Polo shirts

Suit jackets

Jumpers, smart sweatshirts or cardigans

Skirts or dresses (of a length suitable for a school or office environment)

Trousers, chinos or smart black jeans

Smart footwear (not trainers)

The following are not acceptable:

Hoodies	Unbuttoned shirts	Transparent tops
Off the shoulder tops	Non-black denim	Strappy vest tops
Crop tops	T-shirts	Shorts
Leggings worn as trousers	Trainers	Soft canvas shoes
Underwear showing	Sportswear	‘Distressed’ clothing

 

NB. The dress code is subject to the school’s discretion which, in all cases, is final. If a student is unsure whether an item of clothing is acceptable under the dress code they should seek clarification before purchasing or wearing it to school.

The Sixth Form Dress Code is reviewed with students on an annual basis. Any changes made will be communicated to students and parents.
