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:
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and can’t take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum major’s uniform on.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
