Safeguarding Uniform Expectations

All Sixth Form students must wear their 6th Form I.D. badge  which must be worn and visible at all times. If you do not have your I.D. badge for any reason, you must check in with reception for them to ensure safeguarding protocols are followed and a temporary lanyard is issued for the day.
