St Wilfrid’s RC College Sixth Form Dress Code
We have high standards of dress code at St Wilfrid’s Sixth Form. It is important that you, as a St Wilfrid’s Sixth Form student take pride in yourself and in our school. All students are treated equally and fairly; if you breach any part of our uniform policy, then you will be sent home to change.
