• Piercings – a small, discreet ear stud may be worn, but no other ear and facial piercings are allowed (no nose, tongue and/or eyebrow rings).

Patterns, stripes or logos must not be shaved or cut into hair or eyebrows. Hair must not be dyed unnatural colours. No hair beads or hair clips permitted.

• Hats – no hats to be worn in the NCS buildings.

• Head coverings -no head coverings to be worn, other than for religious reasons. Any religious head coverings must be plain black, navy blue or white.

• Tattoos must not be visible.

• Make-up – minimal make up is allowed and must be in the spirit of the Sixth Form dress code/professional work environment. We reserve the right (in our absolute discretion) to ask students to remove make up which breaches the professional ethos of the sixth form.

• ID Badges and lanyards – students are required to wear an ID badge which must be visible at all times. Where a student has lost or misplaced their ID badge, they must inform reception immediately.

• Badges – no badges must be worn on the school uniform, bags and coats except those awarded to students by a teacher.
