How we dress is very important in accurately reflecting our commitment, professionalism and attitude towards sixth form life. At Banbury Aspirations Sixth Form Campus, we take pride in our professional dress and it is vital that all students dress according to our policy. It is non-negotiable.
Any student who is not wearing dress appropriate to the policy will be asked to wear alternative clothing at school, or go home to change.
Dress Code Requirements
A useful comparator is the standard and type of dress that can be commonly seen worn by staff working in a professional office.
Specifically, the expectation is that you should wear:
-
- A shirt and tie, or a blouse/smart top which covers the torso fully.
- All students (male and female) are required to wear a tailored suit jacket or blazer.
- Smart cardigans or jumpers may also be worn along with a jacket/blazer, not instead of.
- Tailored trousers, dress or a skirt. All should be an appropriate length, not made of stretchy or clingy material.
- Smart, polishable footwear that is comfortable and practical.
- Tidy hair and discreet make-up.
- Facial piercings should be appropriate for a professional setting – ears and a small nose stud.
- Banbury Aspirations Sixth Form Lanyards must be worn at all times – this is a safeguarding requirement.
By attending Banbury Aspirations Campus, you sign up to adhere to this dress code, and should your uniform fall short of our expectations, then you may be asked to go home and change. Repeated incidents will result in a parent/carer meeting to resolve any issues. Any problems should be brought to the attention of a member of the Sixth Form Team.
