Hi Hilary,
At the school I went to, the setup was the same as at Norbridge High. In
the sixth form, which is the final two years of secondary (high) school
where kids
can stay on and do A Levels, pupils were allowed to wear their own clothes
as opposed to the rest of the school who, as you can see in PG, have to wear
school uniform. In my experience it was a bad idea since the younger kids
saw us older kids swanning about in casual clothes and they had no
respect for us. When I was 11 the sixth formers at my school had to wear
blue jumpers for the boys, and red jumpers for the girls. The sixth formers
stood out, but they were smartly dressed and everyone respected them. I can
recall being in awe of them, which was not the case when I was a sixth
former !
