Sixth form dress code

Transcript of Notice

The sixth form dress code has been re-written for September 2006 after extensive consultation with existing year 12 student representatives.

The aim is to present a smarter image which is more in keeping with the uniform required of years 7-11, many of whom look up to sixth form students as their role models. At the same time a prescriptive uniform, [pushed for by Lord Morris], has deliberately not been adopted to allow for a degree of choice and individuality.

The compromise still leaves the dress code requirements at BRGS far less prescriptive than those required by most Grammar School sixth forms.
