Sir John Lawes School
Our Expectations
of You
You have made a positive choice to be part of Sir
John Lawes Sixth Form and we expect you to
show both enthusiasm and commitment for your
chosen course of study, and for life in the Sixth
Form. Success at A Level is highly dependent
upon regular attendance and you should be
punctual, both to school and to all classes. In the
Sixth Form you will be role models for all younger
pupils. You will be treated as young adults and we
obviously expect you to act responsibly. If you are
to enjoy the privileges of Sixth Form life to the full
we do expect you to follow some important
guidelines.
Sixth Form Dress Code
Sixth Formers at Sir John Lawes have some discretion
to make certain choices about their working clothes,
but are expected to set an example of smart
appearance to other year groups. The Sixth Form
dress code is smart and the requirements are as
follows:
• Smart jacket or blazer with either smart full-length
trousers or a smart knee-length skirt or a smart knee
length dress – preferably matching
• Smart shirt with tie or smart top
• Smart shoes or boots
No stretchy skirts
No Capri pants, shorts or leggings
No chinos or jeans
No spaghetti straps or tops that reveal midriffs
No tops with logos
No trainers or other casual shoes
No excessively high heels
No casual boots; Uggs or similar
Other Requirements
• Hair must be appropriate for a smart office
environment. We realise that this can be interpreted
differently according to culture and ethnicity and are
happy to accept and value all kinds of smart as long as
these are consistent with the head teacher’s final
judgement. We follow the Halo Code.
If worn short, hair may have a gradual fade but
should not be stepped
If short hair is worn the same length all over it may
be no shorter than grade 2
Hair should be of a natural colour
No patterns or tramlines should be shaved into the
hair or the eyebrows
Long hair should be fastened or tied back for
practical activities
Hair ornaments should not be worn
Hair bands must be plain and either black, white or
navy
• Only ear piercing is permitted in school. No other
facial piercings are allowed.
• No spacers or “spike” earrings.
• A jacket must be worn when walking around school,
as well as for assemblies and other formal occasions.
·• Bags that feature inappropriate imagery are strictly
forbidden.
Any student who breaches the school dress code can
expect to be sent home to change or asked to work in
isolation. The Sixth Form team’s view on what is
appropriate is final.
