DRESS CODE
At Slothlands Academy we expect our girls to always be neat and presentable and adhere to our strict dress code. Any girl found not complying with the following rules will be send immediately to the office of the Head for immediate correction

Everyday wear
The standard uniform consists of the following:
Skirt: this shall be knee-length or as much as four inches shorter. Girls with skirts any longer than this will be expected to roll them up. Skirt should be black with the regulation pleats.
Shirt: The white shirt shall be fitted to the body of the pupil. Baggy shapeless shirts are not acceptable; our students are ladies and should not seek to disguise this fact. We encourage our girls to select a bra in a colour which will be visible through the shirt, so there is no doubt that one is being worn. A red tie should be worn over this
Undergarments: Must be worn at all times unless the student has obtained a letter of permission from the Head. As with the shirts we believe femininity is a must- girls should select underwear fitting of a young lady. Grey underwear, or underwear which covers too much of the body will be confiscated. In order to ensure this rule is being adhered to, girls will be subject to spot checks as often as possible.
Socks: White knee-length socks, or else thigh high stockings are allowed. Tights will not be worn under any circumstances.
Shoes: Black shoes must be worn, stilettos are encouraged.
Blazer: Girls are expected to wear a red blazer carrying the school crest

Physical Education
Our physical education uniform consists of a short length skirt, white t shirt and red ‘Slothlands academy’ sweatshirt. Matching red underwear should be worn, as due to the length of the skirts and the nature of the activity, this may be exposed. Girls will also need long socks and appropriate shoes for sports.
Swimming: Girl’s may select their own bathing suits; however it should be noted that one-piece costumes are not allowed for health and safety reasons.

Nightwear
Once again I must stress that our pupils are young ladies and should act this way at all times. For this reason long pyjamas and oversized t-shirts are not allowed. Instead we suggest elegant silk nightdresses. The local town has a shop called ‘Anne Summers’ which will certainly have something appropriate.

School Crest
We are proud of our school crest and its decades of history. It bears the crossed cane and tawse symbol favoured by the school’s founders, and the initials ‘BDSM’ which stand for ‘Benevolence, Diligence, Sense and Mercy’- our school motto.
