Outside of fee paying schools there is very seldom a dress code for school staff.
Every school I have worked in has had a dress code for staff. i still have a few examples:
Male staff must wear a formal shirt and tie and smart trousers - smart jumpers optional. Suits/jackets are optional. Smart shoes should be worn. Staff who teach in the PE Department have a separate agreed uniform.
ï‚· Female staff must wear smart dresses or smart separates or smart trousers. Skirts and dresses should not be too short (just above knee length at the shortest). Smart shoes or smart boots should be worn.
ï‚· All staff must wear their name badges/ID
ï‚· Staff should ensure that their make-up, hairstyles and any visible piercings or tattoos are
suitable and appropriate for working in a setting with young people below the age of 18 years of age.
and
Appropriate dress for female staff:
ï‚· Dresses and skirts which are no shorter than three inches above the knee. Dress and skirts which are ankle length and tight enough to hinder walking are not acceptable attire. The slit of a dress or skirt must come no higher than three inches above the knee.
ï‚· Slacks and Capri pants may be worn in an appropriate manner. Capri pants must be below the knee. Physical education teachers may wear shorts. All other female staff will not wear shorts.
ï‚· No jeans or jean clothing of any color are acceptable.
