Dress Code

    Sixth Form Dress Code (from November 2025)

    The dress code at DGGS applies to all Sixth Form students.

    The following should be used as guidance of what to wear, all students are expected to promote a smart appearance and be dressed appropriately for our school community. Sixth Form dress therefore sets the tone and the standard for the rest of the student body.

    Everyday Wear:

    • Trousers or smart jeans
    • Skirts and/or dresses should be of an appropriate length - the ideal length is just above the knee.
    • Shirt, blouse or top with at least a short-sleeve and must be able to be tucked in or worn appropriately over a waistband
    • Jumper, cardigan or sweater / hoodie
    • Appropriate footwear
    • Jacket or blazer

    Please note;

    No frayed, torn / ripped or patched designed items of clothing to be worn

    Skirts – no split hems or very short lengths

    Shirts / blouses – these should not be of a transparent material, low cut or too short / a cropped style. No sleeveless or ‘strappy’ tops to be worn.

    Footwear – safe and appropriate footwear is important for when moving around the school site.

    Formal School Occasions:

    Smart dress: suits or trousers /skirts, a smart top and a jacket are required for students to wear during formal events where they are representing the school.

    Summer Dress:

    During the Summer term (Term Six), DGGS Sixth Form students will be permitted to wear smart shorts of an appropriate length. The material should not be frayed, torn / ripped, patched designs.

    Please also be aware of the following:

    • Coats may be worn but are to be removed once inside classrooms / study areas / assembly
    • Hats and hoods should not be worn inside
    • Tracksuits and leggings should only be worn for sporting events
    • Hair should be of a natural colour
    • Ear piercings are permitted, as is one small / discrete nose stud
    • No visible tattoos
    • No clothing with offensive slogans or highly visible logos to be worn, this also includes coats and bags

    The Sixth Form Dress Code acts as a bridge between education and employment. It also reflects the level of maturity and independence we expect from our Sixth Form students.
