We are a uniformed school and our expectations of smart dress extend to the Sixth Form. While we no longer require you to wear full school uniform, we do expect you to look professional. As Sixth Form students you are the most senior students in the Academy and are role models for students in lower years.
Wren Academy’s gender neutral dress code allows members of the Sixth Form to set a high standard in their personal appearance and conduct.
All items on the list below may be worn by Wren Academy Sixth Form students:
Permitted Items:
- Smart trousers - suit trousers or chinos
- Smart skirt of an appropriate length - no shorter than mid-thigh in length
- Smart dress of an appropriate length - no shorter than mid-thigh in length
- Smart shirt with collar or a smart blouse
- Smart jumper or cardigan
- Smart jacket or blazer
- Smart leather or suede shoes (or shoes of leather/suede appearance - not trainers)
- Formal items, such as waistcoats and ties are optional
- Polo shirts (Summer Term only)
These items are not allowed:
Not Permitted Items:
- Denim

- Facial piercings apart from a single nose stud.
- Any clothing with rips, holes or large logos/slogans
- Uggs

Please also be aware of the following:
- Coats may be worn but are to be removed once inside the academy buildings
- Hair should be of a natural colour
- Where religious dress is worn such as a hijab, turban, abaya etc., it should be worn in conjunction with the dress code and maintain its spirit.
Finally, please remember that the dress code in the Sixth Form is a privilege not enjoyed by other members of the school community. It reflects the level of maturity and independence we expect from our Sixth Form students and any student failing to comply with it may be sent home to change.
