At UTC Swindon we mirror the working world in every way possible and this includes what you wear.
All students and staff wear business attire. Our students say this is a change from their previous school and makes a big difference to their mindset being in a professional environment.
All are expected to dress in a business, boardroom professional manner, wearing smart formal shoes with either a shirt and tie with a suit or with formal trousers and tailored jacket; or formal trousers, a skirt or dress of reasonable length with a smart top and tailored jacket. Staff and students are expected to wear their lanyards at all times.
