I look forward to being able to wear the current sixth form dress code. The way it is now is fine and it has been proved that a uniform does not change the way people learn. They are unnecessary and expensive. No one I know has expressed a need for a smarter dress code, and even the one proposed by the student body is too formal. Especially no hoodies because many people only have hoodies as a second layer. The uniform will not be comfortable and may make people uncomfortable with their bodies.

The school claims that "many girls expressed a wish for a smarter dress" code.
As a parent, I request the school to release the precise numbers - how many girls had their opinions canvassed, how were these girls selected, what precisely were they asked, and how did they respond? If they do not release these figures, I think the conclusions will be obvious.

Isn't it somewhat hypocritical that the staff responsible for the new rules were very verbal in their distaste of the lack of communication with people about the bus plans? Having been told that we all have a voice, it seems very odd to be presented with this change after no forewarning or discussion at all.

The point of sixth formers being able to wear their own clothes is to give them a sense that they're trusted -- a dress code defeats the entire purpose. It would also be pointless considering all the sixth formers I've ever seen dress practically and in no way "inappropriately".

These new clothes will be expensive for people to purchase, and as they are not durable school uniform the clothes will have to be repurchased many times throughout the school year. They are also not going to be comfortable for students and will not give anyone a sense of individuality. It defeats the purpose of the sixth form's freedom. Are these people for real?!?
