Uniform List
NAMING CLOTHES
At the start of your child's stay at Reed's, all clothing bought from the school shop will be steam named. This service is compulsory and there is a charge of £35 (day), £45 (boarders) & £20 (6th Form). This includes the matron naming of towels and duvet covers for boarders.
Once the initial payment has been made all replacements bought from the school shop will be named free of charge. All other clothing, shoes and possessions, including casual clothing and underwear MUST be named. The School is happy to steam name all these items at a cost of £0.50 per label. Clothes found to be unnamed will be named at the charge placed on the end of term bill.

Parents must see that their children return to school with the right size items correctly marked and in good repair. If replacements are necessary the School reserves the right to provide what is needed and to invoice accordingly.

SIXTH FORM DRESS CODE
There is a Dress Code for 6th form students, rather than a prescribed uniform. Students must wear a suit which must be matching in colour and design, appropriate for attending an interview. Footwear should be formal: trainers or casual shoes may not be worn with suits.
V-neck pullovers, waistcoats or cardigans may be worn as optional extras but the suit jacket must be worn over the top. Sweat shirts, zipped cardigans, round-neck pullovers or any garments with logos or wording should not be worn.
Hair should be a length and style that does not draw undue attention to itself; this includes dyeing. Students are expected to be clean shaven at all times.
Make-up, nail polish and jewellery should be suitable for attending a formal interview. Earrings or studs must be discreet; no other ornamental piercing is accepted.
Hair, make-up and jewellery should be in keeping with the formal interview standard as above.
The Sixth Form Uniform Guide has been produced with students, and will be sent to all students joining sixth form.
The Sixth Form Management Team reserves the right to decide on the acceptability of any aspect of clothing or personal appearance.
