Sixth Form Dress Code
It is a sixth form privilege not to wear school uniform. The school expects that you will dress suitably and avoid extremes of fashion. Many outsiders judge the school by the appearance of its sixth formers and younger students look to the sixth form students as role models.
The information below outlines the key aspects of our sixth form dress code. These are not exhaustive, but the spirit and ethos of our expectations are clear.
What we will accept:
- Full length trousers or smart jeans (no rips/holes)
- Knee length skirts (No more than a credit card width between the knee and skirt)
- Smart, t-shirt, top/blouse or shirt
- Piercings should be discreet, and all jewellery items should be conservative and not pose a risk to health and safety.
- Footwear should be safe and offer protection
- Student basketball elite athletes are allowed to wear Nottingham Academy Wildcats branded sportwear tracksuits only.
- Lanyards and ID badges must always be worn and be visible at all times- Students need to sign in and out of the building, this a safeguarding requirement.
What we will NOT accept:
- Exposed underwear
- Bare tops/midriffs
- Clothing and accessories that promote drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, profanity, prejudice, or racism
- Sliders, flip flops or crocs
- Shorts
- Leggings unless worn under an appropriate length skirt or dress
- Sportswear
- Tracksuits/jogging bottoms
- Extreme haircuts and colours
- Hats and hoods are not allowed to be worn inside or around the school building
Students will be asked to remove any items which are not deemed acceptable dress; where this is not possible students will be sent home to change by the Head of Sixth Form/Assistant Principal for KS5. If plausible, they will then be expected to return to the school for the remainder of the school day. Students will be expected to make up the time lost in school for this.
Lanyards
Students who fail to wear a lanyard and ID will be sent home to collect theirs if plausible. Students will be expected to make up the time lost in school for this.

Failure to comply with Academy uniform expectations will result in the student being isolated until the matter is resolved.
