Trinity Sixth-Form Uniform Guide
The overall effect of Sixth Form clothing should be one of smartness, lack of
ostentation and appropriateness within a conventional business context. The
school shall be the sole arbiter in respect of all three of these requirements.
Students who are unsure about the suitability of particular items of clothing
must consult with the Head of Year before purchasing, or before wearing such
items to school.
