Sixth Form students act as role models to younger students at Leigh Academy Tonbridge. As such, your conduct, including dress and appearance is an important part of this; as such you are expected to dress professionally and smartly for school, in fact the dress code for our Sixth Form students is the same for our staff.

Many Sixth Form students will go on to professional or skilled jobs where there is a dress code that reflects the ethos and status of that company or organisation.
