DRESS, BEHAVIOUR AND PLAGIARISM

DRESS

Members of the Sixth Form are not required to wear school uniform but they are required to be smartly and appropriately dressed for a 'formal' working environment.

This means that female students are expected to wear a suitably modest skirt or trousers and smart top; jackets and suits are encouraged.  It is not acceptable to wear denim, sweatshirts, vest tops or trainers.  Male students are expected to wear a jacket, trousers, shirt and tie; suits are encouraged.  It is not acceptable to wear denim, sweatshirts, jumpers, trainers or boots.

On public occassions female Sixth Form students are expected to wear a white blouse and navy/black skirt, and male students a white shirt, tie, jacket and dark trousers or suit.

For further information please see the leaflet entitled 'Sixth Form Code of Dress'.

BEHAVIOUR

All students have chosen to continue in full time education beyond the age of 16 and as such are expected to behave as young adults, showing consideration and respect towards others. Students are required to behave in a civilised and responsible fashion respecting themselves, others and their environment. Smoking is not permitted on the school premises or within the vicinity of the school. Students may be asked to contribute to the cost of repair and replacement of school property which is damaged as the result of careless or thoughtless behaviour.   

PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is cheating and thus a serious offence which will result in disciplinary procedures and even disqualification from public examinations.   Coursework must be the work of the student alone. When writing an extended essay or producing coursework, all references must be fully acknowledged.
