Sixth Form Uniform
Furze Platt School is a place of work. It has a long-standing tradition and holds a place of respect in the local community. Our Sixth Form students have a special role in representing the school within the community and to be an aspiration for younger students. They are, therefore, expected to dress accordingly.
Sixth Form Compulsory Wear

Shirts: All students must wear a formal, button-down shirt. These must be buttoned up to the collar and tucked in to suit trousers or skirt. All shirts may be plain or with a subtle stripe or check. Short sleeved shirts are permitted but sleeveless shirts are not permitted.
