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.
