Anthony Gell School Dress Code 2024
We are pleased to continue to be a school which has a dress code rather than a uniform. Time is better spent on supporting young people and learning starting promptly, rather than conversations about school uniform. We value the students’ individuality, and they have the freedom to express themselves. This individual freedom has to be balanced against what is appropriate for a school and workplace environment. There are therefore, and always have been, some limitations on what students can wear whilst at AGS.
Students have a lot of freedom regarding hair style and colour, jewellery and accessories, their choices should not cause a potential health and safety risk. This mainly applies to dangly earrings/necklaces, loose fitting bracelets, or inappropriate clothing for the activity being undertaken. Students are not permitted to wear flip flops, sliders or have bare feet as they move through the school because of health and safety reasons. Logos or images on clothing, which could offend or cause hurt/upset to others are also not permitted as part of our dress code.Finally, inappropriately short or revealing shorts and skirts, revealing ripped trousers and cropped tops which expose the midriff are not permitted. As a guide, shorts or skirts should be longer than where the wearer’s fingers would be if the arm was by the wearer’s side. Underwear should not be visible.
