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

smart knee-length skirt, or a smart knee length dress –

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.
