1. The New Dress Code

2. I’ve heard the dress code is changing? We have made some small changes to give you more choice: • You can choose to continue to wear white polo shirts with sweatshirts or cardigans just as now • Or you could wear a black polo shirt • Or you could wear a plain white formal shirt or blouse – with or without a tie • And you can wear a black blazer if you prefer

3. What about the new badge? • You can carry on wearing your existing polo shirts and jumpers and buy an iron-on or sew-on badge, which will be available in September • Or you can buy plain polo shirts, jumpers, cardigans or blazers and sew or iron on the new badge • Later in the year you will be able to buy new shirts, jumpers and cardigans with the new badge sewn on if you want to

4. Are there any other changes I need to know about? • We have made it much clearer what we expect you to wear and what is unacceptable. • This is in the planner and was in the latest newsletter • Make sure you are following the dress code or you will have things confiscated, go to CR or be excluded until you get it right
