Dress Code
Highworth is the place of work for Sixth Form students and, as such, students are expected to dress appropriately for work. Our smart/casual and gender neutral dress code aims to foster a relaxed, yet focused, learning environment.
The following rules must be adhered to:
- Hair is natural colours only
- Clothing should ensure that midriffs are covered
- Skirts and dresses should be at least mid-thigh length
- Only ear piercings are permitted
- Only smart, chino-style shorts of at least mid-thigh length are permissible in Term 6
- Hats must be removed once inside the school building.
- Lanyards and ID cards must be worn at all times
The items below are prohibited:
- Torn clothing, including ripped jeans
- Flip flops and Crocs
- Visible tattoos or piercings other than ear piercings
- T-shirts with offensive slogans
- Strapless or backless tops
- Sheer fabric.
If clarification is required about a particular item of clothing, students can speak to Mr House or Miss Ozturk before wearing it to school. Anyone contravening the dress code is expected to rectify the dress code issue if it is possible to do so. Refusal to do this will result in an internal isolation for the remainder of the day and a phone call home. The Head of Sixth Form has the final say on dress code issues and sanctions will be put in place in line with our behaviour policy.
Students are encouraged to remember that the Sixth Form are role models in the school community and set the tone and standard for the rest of the student body.
