Alleyns Sixth Form Dress Code

Hi, I recently found out that I've been accepted into Alleyns sixth form and I'm really excited but I can't find anything anywhere about the dress code. From what I've heard it's quite formal and professional but the pictures on their website suggest otherwise. This isn't completely urgent as I won't start until next September, and I haven't confirmed my decision yet, but it's kind of bugging me and I'd really like to find out. So in short, if anyone attends Alleyns sixth form or knows anything about it, what's the dress code?

Hey I'm still in year 11 but I can tell you what I’ve heard from friends in sixth form. Overall it’s business casual so no jeans, sweatpants, hoodies, branded clothing, tank tops, shorts (or even T-shirts I think). Apparently you only need to stick to this for the first term or so and then the teachers don’t really care. By second term I see most of the sixth formers wearing the clothes I mentioned weren’t allowed so dw too much.

Honestly, just don't stress! I was definitely worried about the exam and interview process but they went much better than I expected and I definitely made a few mistakes but I still got in!! Also remember that if you don't get in it's probably just not the right school for you and there's always other options. I think for me the exams were quite easy especially as the maths component wasn't too important for me as I am only doing essay subjects. The interview was more stressful for me as I can be quite shy but overall I'd say try to think about some answers to typical questions before hand and you'll be fine! Good luck!!
