3. Uniform and Appearance

We have high expectations of our Sixth Formers and this includes personal
appearance. The uniform encourages identification with the school and nurtures
the notion of community. It supports discipline and good behaviour and instils a
sense of pride in the school. Students are expected to adhere to the uniform
rules on the journey to and from school. The way uniform is worn is as important
as the uniform itself.

(a) The Nevis Sixth Form shall determine its uniform. The decision about what is
and is not acceptable will always remain with the school.
