Dress Code
Bobby Moore Academy Sixth Form Dress Code
Sixth Form dress is an important part of our academy’s identity. It reinforces who we are as a community and helps allow scholars to feel pride in their academic studies. It also helps prepare scholars for life after school where many will have to dress smartly for work and for potential university and apprenticeship interviews. We therefore expect students to wear business-formal attire when attending Sixth Form.
Dress Code:
- Formal jackets/blazers must be worn at all times in the academy, except in the designated Sixth Form areas
- Smart, dark coloured shoes
- Smart/business skirts and dresses
- Suit trousers
- Skirts and dresses should be knee length
- Shirts and blouses
- Smart V-neck jumpers are permitted to be worn underneath a formal jacket/blazer
- Ties must be worn with shirts
- Single studded nose piercings are permitted

In extremely warm weather, the Executive Principal may allow scholars to remove their blazers.
Photo ID lanyards must be always worn and visible in the academy
