As you may have heard NLS have recently announced a change in policy for sixth form dress code. This is now to be office wear i.e. no jeans, sweat shirts or T shirts and to include a smart formal coat.
Some may not object to the code but its introduction via a page on the website at this late stage, when students have made their choice of sixth form, shows a total lack of consultation and respect for students on the brink of adulthood. It's clear neither the student or parent voice has had an opportunity to be heard.
Furthermore, the cost of such 'office' clothing will be considerable and may well have been a consideration in choice of Further Education provider.
Please sign the petition below to ask the school to reconsider the change in rules and to take parents and students wishes into account. Ideally reverting to the previous rule or a 'half way house' where jeans and smart t shirts for example will be allowed .

Not happy at late notice...kids may as well stay in uniform as the options given are just as strick .my son doesn't have these clothes in his wardrobe .
6th Form is not just about "A" levels it is also about preparing students for University or College and treating them as "young adults". I also think if this dress code had been notified earlier it would have had an effect on the number of pupils opting to study "A" levels at NLS. Something for the school to consider.
A change in policy should involve student and parent consultation. I think a dress code is a good idea but does it need to be 'office wear'? Cost implications are also important.
I think that having the freedom to express your individuality is massively important for the last few years of your education as its helps to build your self confidence before stepping into the world of work. You've got the rest of your lives to dress like office-bots, you shouldn't be forced to do it while you are still kids!
The students should be made to feel comfortable in their own clothes without being restricted to be told what they can and can't wear. Some students feel that they will not attend the sixth form and make alternative choices which could impact on their education and career choice.
i think whoever decided to introduce this rule is a total and utter me
Against Tyranny in all its forms!!!

The pupils who don't follow the rules should be punished, not everyone else just to make it easier for the school. There is nothing wrong with the old dress code. Getting them ready for the real world is rubbish. Most of them will go to uni where there is no dress code. So how does this help???
