Sixth Form Uniform

At The Deepings School, students are expected to dress at all times in a manner that is fitting for maturing, young personnel in a professional situation. Whilst students may wear simple and functional attire which is different to the Main School, it must adhere to the dress code.

Lanyards
It is a legal responsibility of any institution that caters for young people to ensure they are safeguarded against harm.
As such, all Sixth Form students must wear a lanyard at all times when on the Main School site or in the Sixth Form Centre. If you arrive at school without your lanyard, you will be loaned a spare, which must be returned at the end of the day. If a lanyard or card is lost, you should contact the Admin office for a replacement, for which there may be a small charge.
