Dress Code

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre does not have a uniform except for PE but we do have a dress code which includes the following:

• Coats should be removed in lessons. This includes jackets and other outer ‘coatlike’ garments but not jumpers or hoodies

• When in school no underwear or midriff should be visible

• Clothing should not display offensive or inappropriate words, slogans or logos

• No headgear (eg. hats or caps) is to be worn inside school buildings other than that pertaining to a religious belief or if there is a specific medical reason agreed by the headteacher.

• Hoods are not to be worn up inside the school buildings

• Footwear should be appropriate for school and the activities being undertaken within school. Flip-flops or sliders should not be worn

• Open backed and open toed footwear are not suitable for Technology or science due to this being a health and safety risk and cannot be worn

• Students are not allowed to wear excessively long or acrylic nails that could interfere with writing, typing, PE, or technology lessons due to safety concerns

• Students may wear piercings, but they must be removable and must be taken out for PE lessons for safety reasons

• Students are not permitted to wear clothing associated with nightwear, this includes pyjamas, fleece loungewear or dressing gowns
