A gum shield and personal protective wear, shin guards and cricket box must be provided for relevant games lessons and fixtures. It is the responsibility of each pupil to bring these to sessions, and failure to do so may preclude them participating in that activity on the grounds of safety.


Sixth Form Dress Code

Sixth Form students form part of the adult community at Kew House School and as such are expected to dress smartly.  

Our dress code for the Sixth Form recognises the senior position that the students have reached in the school and allows them to step away from wearing school uniform. Our Sixth Formers act as role models to the younger students. A student’s appearance is not only important in maintaining high standards but is also good preparation for the world of work where appropriate dress is frequently an expectation.

The school reserves the right to make the final judgement about the appropriateness of a student’s dress or appearance in relation to the standards we set for our community. Any student who is not suitably dressed will be sanctioned according to our policy.  

Students are expected to wear professional dress and take pride in their appearance. Clothes, hair, jewelry and make up should be appropriate for situations such as a formal office environment or for an interview.
