Sixth Form dress code – formal business wear

Our aim is to ensure that all Henley Bank Sixth Formers are dressed smartly, professionally and in a formal business style. 

Uniform – business wear

• All students must wear a blazer (black, blue or grey).
• All students must wear either a formal collared shirt (long or short sleeves are fine) or a smart, work-appropriate blouse.
• All students must wear either trousers or a smart, work-appropriate (style, knee-length, and material) skirt (black, blue or grey).
• All students must wear smart, work-appropriate shoes (no trainers, sandals etc.).
• All students must wear a Henley Bank Sixth Form tie.
• Jumpers and smart cardigans can be worn under the jacket.
• Make-up must be natural.
• Hair must be appropriate for the workplace. 
• Black socks or black/neutral tights

Sixth Form Ties can be purchased from Monkhouse Schoolwear, Gloucester or directly from the school reception at a cost of £8.50.

For clarification

• Coats should not be worn in school.
• Hats, winter scarves or gloves should not be worn during registration, in lessons or inside the school buildings or Sixth Form Centre.
• No black jeans or leggings.
• No hoodies (including when worn as a coat or extra layer).

These descriptions are to help you adhere to the dress code.  We reserve the right to ask students to modify/change their dress if they do not meet the aims or requirements of the Sixth Form dress code. Sixth Form students who are inappropriately dressed may be asked to return home to change. This will affect lesson attendance and therefore possibly progress.
