Dress code

Our sixth form students are role models for the Harris Federation and, as such, should be smartly presented at all times. Standards in our dress reflect our high expectations in all aspects of student life.

The Federation dress code is designed to be smart, affordable and inclusive. Students are encouraged to contact their Head of Sixth Form for advice and/ or financial assistance if required.

All students are expected to wear a blazer either as part of a business suit or with formal dress/skirt/trousers. 

Students and staff should wear clothes which project professionalism. Students should wear a combination of the following formal dress items:

  • business suit
  • business blazer
  • blouse
  • dress/skirt/trousers
  • shirt and tie
  • shoes

Identity cards with academy lanyards must be worn and visible.

Transgender students may dress consistently in accordance with their gender presentation. 

At Harris Sixth Form, we recognise and celebrate our staff and students’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone’s ability to succeed.  Harris Sixth Form adopts the Halo Code in regard to all Afro Hairstyles. We welcome Afro-textured hair worn in all styles.

Reasonable adjustments to the dress code will be made, in discussion with (and the prior agreement of) base site Head of 6th Form on an individual basis (e.g. for medical reasons/disability)

Physical Education, Performing Arts and students of other specialist qualifications are expected to conform to the individual expectations of that subject.

The following are not permitted:

  • Visible body piercing is restricted to the ears and/or one small nose stud only
  • Tattoos should not be visible.
  • Casual style dresses such as those with a vest style top, very thin straps and strapless style top
  • Jumpers - apart from plain jumpers under the blazer
  • Denim/jeans trousers, shirts, blouses or skirts
  • Studs on trousers, skirts or shirts/blouses
  • Casual trousers – combats, track suits, leggings
  • Casual tops – track suits, fleeces, T-shirts, hooded tops, vest tops
  • Shorts, trousers made of stretchy legging-type material
  • Sportswear
  • Trainers, pumps or canvas shoes
  • Gloves, scarves, hats, caps, bandannas or durags 
  • Clothing made of sheer/transparent materials or any other extreme or inappropriate clothing or make up 
  • Hair dyed in an unnatural colour

 The Harris Sixth Form is sensitive to the needs of different cultures, races and religions and will act reasonably in accommodating these needs. We reserve the right to make reasonable adjustments to the uniform policy to allow for students’ protected characteristics.

Transgressions

In the event of any transgression, students will be reminded of the dress code expectations. If a student is unwilling to address any dress code issues they will be dealt with under their base site’s behaviour policy.

It is beyond the scope of the dress code to provide guidance on every eventuality.  In the event of queries, the Head of Sixth Form will act as the arbiter.
