Uniform for Sixth Form Students

First impressions are very important.  Knole Academy’s sixth form dress code offers students flexibility of personal choice within a framework which upholds the professional standards expected in a focused working environment. 

We encourage smart, stylish dress which promotes self-confidence, commitment and pride, setting a positive example to younger learners.  Students enter the sixth form to study and achieve their goals, participating in academy life and the wider community.  Their choice of dress should reflect this.

The following list is not exhaustive but should offer a clear set of guidelines to follow.   

Male students:

• Smart, tailored trousers in a dark colour (navy/black/grey).
• A smart, tailored suit jacket in a dark colour (navy/black/grey).
• A dark coloured (navy/black/grey) smart cardigan or jumper may be worn under a jacket in cooler weather.
• A smart shirt with tie.
• Dark coloured, smart shoes.
   

Female students:

• Smart, tailored trousers or a smart tailored skirt or dress of a suitable length (on the knees to mid-calf) in a dark colour (navy/black/grey).
• A smart, tailored jacket in a dark colour (navy/black/grey).
• A smart top such as a shirt or blouse which covers the shoulders and does not show the midriff or cleavage.
• A dark coloured (navy/black/grey) smart cardigan or jumper may be worn under a jacket in cooler weather.
• Dark coloured, smart shoes with a heel of a sensible height.

In addition to the above, the following points should be adhered to:

• Outdoor coats should be smart and dark in colour (navy/black/grey).  They should not be worn once inside academy buildings.
• In warmer weather we understand students’ desire to remain cool but suit jackets should not be removed except in the common room or with a teacher’s permission in lessons.
• Denim/jeans and leather items are not allowed.
• Jewellery and make up should be minimal and discreet. 
• Facial piercings and visible tattoos are not appropriate.
• Extremes of fashion are not acceptable in a school with younger students.
• A high standard of personal presentation is expected at all times.
• ID cards should be worn at all times

Students studying Hairdressing are required to wear an official tunic, smart black trousers or skirt of a suitable length and flat black, closed toe shoes during practical sessions and should follow the standard dress code at all other times.

If in doubt the Deputy Head in charge of Sixth Form should be contacted prior to any purchase to confirm the suitability of any items.  Knole Academy reserves the right to decide what is considered appropriate.  Should the dress code not be followed then students may be asked to stay in isolation with their tutor or to go home and change.
