Uniform
St. Anthony’s & St. Aidan’s Sixth Form expects students to adhere to a dress code.
We believe it helps create a feeling of unity among students and strengthens their sense of belonging to the sixth form community. In many areas of employment a uniform or dress code is an asset to both the individual and the organisation.

- Plain black, formal, tailored, knee- length skirt (no tight ‘Body Con’ / Lycra / stretch type material)

Inclusive Community
We are a loving inclusive Catholic community and welcome to our Sixth Form students from all faiths and cultures. We fully support students where they adapt our school uniform in light of their religious beliefs and respectfully ask that wherever possible the Sixth Form colour of black is used and for safeguarding purposes the student’s face to be clearly visible.
