Dress Code

At Rossett School we have a clear dress code for students.

Why? 

  • Following our dress code shows pride in belonging to Rossett School. 

  • This dress code means everyone is treated fairly as our expectations apply to everyone. 

  • Putting on school uniform places students in the frame of mind to learn. 

  • Our dress code helps prepare young people for the professional world they will join after education. 

  • Students act as ambassadors for Rossett School, therefore, our expectations extend to travel to and from school.
