In the recent sixth form assembly we have all been informed of the new planned dress code for all sixth formers, which is to be used in the new school year. This code has erased casual clothing and replaced them with more smart and work-appropriate attire.
Although we have been given a chance to vote on our preferred range of clothing, this still limits our wardrobe choices and almost forces us to buy new clothes for the sake of ,one more year at Sponne for next years year 13. For the new year 12s it will not be as hard to comply with the new dress code, due to the fact that they will not have thrown their old blouses and uniform away, but will most likely be dissapointed that they cannot have more freedom with their clothing choice.
This combats one of the appealing features of sixth form, which is the freedom to wear more casual and comfortable clothing. This was one of the unique features about Sponne sixth form, as many other schools, such as Campion still have to wear full formal uniform. By restricting and changing these features it will make current student less enthusiastic and new students less likely to choose Sponne as their sixth form.
This change has irritated many students, me included, as well as some of the staff with this sudden change. Mostly because it is unnecessary as our current dress code allows casual attire with obvious and very reasonable restrictions, such as ripped jeans and very short skirts, but still allows a freedom to have a more relaxed feel which, in turn, allowed us to work comfortably at school.
In conclusion i do not want this new dress code to go ahead and an writing this petition against this taking place next year for all of us to benefit.

The implementation of the Dress code could be handled better, a ban on certain things such as ripped jeans, shorts and hoodies would go a long way to smarten up the Sixth Form without forcing a completely absurd dress code upon them. Lower years wear hoodies and they are not having this rule implemented. Students can look smart without having to wear work or business attire especially if it means that student will have to buy completely new clothes specifically for Sixth Form. This will put a completely unfair burden on the poorest families whilst offering no noticeable benefits for the school. Such a harebrained idea that it hurts my sensibilities.
Dont go sixth form but what the hell.
The adding of this kind of uniform is ridiculous due to the large price for the whole outfit, in some cases people will not be able to afford £100 per suit or suit jacket making it an unstable idea for families even with people whom work, they would not want to be spending money on clothes for school and rather buy things to express ones self in a way they like. But of course the uniform now is lenient for the sixth form but is still a good basis which everyone seemingly agrees on allowing us to have a happy school atmosphere. The introduction of this large expense in uniform for the current year12 will also be a ridiculous spend due to only wearing these things for about a year, not even that, then going off to uni where we will not want to take those things at all so will be £300-500 down the drain?
Good
Completely unnecessary.
For all sixth former in Emily Mortimer's school. Hope this helps.

I think sixth form should be able to choose to wear as they are considered seperate from the rest of the school.
