Dress Code
Role models of RESPONSIBILITY
We see our sixth formers as role models to the rest of the school and expect the highest standards of conduct and appearance.
Between Monday and Thursday, the emphasis is on smart business style dress and students are expected to comply with this dress code when they are at Gumley or in a consortium school. On Fridays, we have introduced Dress Down Friday.
