# Our Uniform

## Uniform

St. Anthony’s & St. Aidan’s Sixth Form expects students to adhere to a dress code.

We believe it helps create a feeling of unity among students and strengthens their sense of belonging to the sixth form community. In many areas of employment a uniform or dress code is an asset to both the individual and the organisation.

### Compulsory Items

- Plain black, formal, tailored trousers (no jeans or leggings) or a designated St Aidan's and St. Anthony's Sixth Form skirt (black pencil skirt to be worn at knee length) or a black, full-length skirt in line with religious observance.
- Plain white formal shirt / blouse
- Smart black flat shoes/boots (no trainers or plimsolls)
- Black socks / opaque tights
- For safeguarding reasons all students must wear a purple lanyard as soon as they are on the school site and at all times (lanyards will be issued by sixth-form staff).

### Optional Items

- Plain black V – Neck jumper or cardigan (no logos, slogans or branding)
- Sixth Form tie (this can be purchased from Sixth Form)
- Black or navy coat (no logo)

### Expectations

- Outdoor coats must be navy or black and must be removed in all lessons, assemblies, liturgies and any other formal academic activity.
- Natural hair colour.
- Natural make-up may be worn, appropriate to a formal academic setting.
- No visible tattoos.

### Inclusive Community

We are a loving inclusive Catholic community and welcome to our Sixth Form students from all faiths and cultures. We fully support students where they adapt our school uniform in light of their religious beliefs and respectfully ask that wherever possible the Sixth Form colour of black is used and for safeguarding purposes the student’s face to be clearly visible.
