Our Sixth Form dress code reflects the high standards and professional culture we want to establish at Hartland High School. As senior members of the school community, Sixth Form students are role models for younger pupils and should dress in a way that is smart, appropriate and suitable for a professional workplace. These expectations also help students develop the habits and confidence needed for university, apprenticeships and employment, while ensuring that everyone contributes to a purposeful and respectful learning environment.

Sportswear

Students studying sports courses or following the basketball programme must have the correct sports uniform, purchasing kit from here: https://kitworld.uk/product-category/school-clubs/hartland-high-school/ 

This is to be worn when training only. At all other times, the dress code outlined above must be worn. Students must change and exercise good hygiene when moving between training and studying. Students taking part in sports courses and training must wear appropriate sports kit.

We reserve the right to ask students to modify/ change their dress if they do not meet the aims or requirements of the Sixth Form dress code.  Sixth Form students inappropriately dressed will be asked to return home to change. Students will not attend lessons, or communal areas if they are not in the correct attire.
