DRESS AND APPEARANCE ___________________________________________________________________________________
Parents rightly expect the School to enforce high standards of dress and appearance. Attention is drawn to this matter in the School Prospectus and the implied acceptance given by parents to the School Rules and Regulations when they are applying for their son or daughter to be admitted to Davenant. There is a clear standard that students will be sent home by the Senior Leadership Team or Head of Year for inappropriate uniform.
