Sixth Form Dress Code
At Mayflower High School, we believe the Sixth Form should embody a productive and comfortable atmosphere that reflects the school ethos of happiness and opportunity for all. The dress code, developed in consultation with the Sixth Form Council, aims to uphold high standards while remaining practical, affordable, and inclusive of individual expression.
