Clothes worn for college should be suitable for working in - clean, practical, and sensible, and students should look smart and tidy. Clothing that is provocative in any way is not suitable and should not be worn. Please note the following conditions regarding dress code:

No extreme styles or fashions are allowed especially no shorts or caps

Several of our courses will have additional requirements regarding jewellery and these must also be adhered to

Jeans are allowed as long as they are sensible and smart in appearance -jeans with holes or patches are not allowed
Cropped trousers are allowed in the summer term
‘Hoodies’ are allowed as long as students keep their hoods down while inside buildings and outside in the college grounds except when weather conditions are poor, for example when it is raining
