Dress Code

Chapeltown Academy students are expected to dress in a manner appropriate to a purposeful, safe, secure, and diverse college.

Whilst we recognise that self-expression is part of being an emerging adult, items of dress that may be expected to cause offence to any member of the college community, such as T-shirts bearing inappropriate language or images, or particularly revealing items of clothing, are not allowed to be worn.

In addition, a student’s face should not be obscured for any reason, for example by hats, hoods, veils, sunglasses, etc. because this may interfere with a teacher’s ability to secure your full participation in discussions and practical activities. Chapeltown Academy also needs to be able to identify individual students to maintain the safety and security of everyone.
