'Dressing for Success' - A Guide to Post-16 Deportment and Dress

Tallis doesn't have a formal dress code.  Instead, we ask students to dress appropriately for the subjects they're studying.  For instance, business students may need to wear a business suit, particularly when on placement; dance students need to wear exercise clothing, and so on.

But because we don't have a formal dress code doesn't mean that students can wear what they like.  Our Year 12 and 13 students are ambassadors to the rest of the school - they set the standard of dress and, indeed, general conduct against which other students judge themselves, and to which they aspire.  

So we ask post-16 students to remember their dignity and to set the standard for others. In practice (applied to contemporary fashions) this means:
  • ALWAYS wearing the school ID around the neck whilst in our building
  • in general, not wearing clothes that consistently reveal underwear
    • so no pants visible above the waistband of the trews
    • so no clothes that reveal the undergarments when climbing the stairs
    • no tops which reveal large amounts of flesh
    • no skin-tight or see-through clothes not also accompanied by a skirt or shorts
  • no hats worn in the building
  • no ripped clothes that reveal more than they conceal
  • no T-shirts or other items of clothing advocating or celebrating illegal acts, drugs etc 
  • no bandanas etc that may suggest membership of clans, gangs and so on
  • no earphones worn in the building, or visible mobile phones - although earphones can be worn and phones used in the study areas or in sixth form social spaces

The sixth form team will adjudicate where fashion is contested.
