Uniform
Kimbolton School's distinctive uniform starts with the solid Purple blazers worn by pupils in the Preparatory School from years three to six. Once pupils move into the Senior School they wear the unique black, purple and white striped blazer from the first to fifth forms, affectionately known by pupils as "deck chairs". Pupils in the sixth form are required to wear suits, with Upper Sixth form pupils permitted to wear coloured jumpers, and for male pupils, coloured ties.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
