Dresscode

Students are expected to dress in a manner that identifies West Coventry Academy Sixth Form as a place of work and that encourages younger students at all of our schools to perceive Sixth Form students as role models.

Dress for Success has been designed in collaboration with students to reflect the fact that our students have ambitions for professional careers whilst accommodating the increased freedom expected from students who have elected to stay within a school environment.

All Students

You will be issued with an ID badge, which must be clearly displayed whenever a student is on any of the West Coventry Academy sites. Failure to do so may result in refused entry.
Outdoor coats should be removed inside the building. Lockers are available for students. See our Lockers page for more information.
Tattoos, piercings and hair colours should be in line with professional levels of appearance. WCASF reserves the right to request the removal, covering or alteration of any that are considered unprofessional.
No liability will be accepted by WCASF for the loss or damage of any jewellery brought onto any school site.
Failure to adhere to the correct standards of dress will result in sanctions, possibly including students being sent home to change.

The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership is committed to keeping our students safe, both in school and the wider community. As part of our safeguarding arrangements, we have a two-way information sharing agreement in place with the local police authority. The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998 (s.115) and Data Protection Act 1998(s.29.3; s.35.2.), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved or further involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as a victim or offender.

If you have any queries about the partnership policy, please contact Mrs S Bailey, ATLP Safeguarding Lead.
