A smart business wear dress code is reflective of the serious, academic ethos of the Sydney Russell sixth form and the high expectations of students. It illustrates a professional approach to sixth form study and the commitment of the students to their chosen courses.
Adhering to a dress code provides a bridge for students between full school uniform and the wider flexibility afforded to them at University. It also prepares students for the professionalism in dress code when faced with the world of work.
