School Sheild
The crest of the School Shield is the family crest of Bishop Cotton of Calcutta. The crest is divided vertically in the centre. The right side (dexter) has the arms of the Bishop of Calcutta. The Bishop's mitreon top is green ona white background and the staff and open Bible are in the bottom half on a red background. The left side (sinister) has three skeins of cotton and a Chevcon (inverted v) on a blue background. This side represents the ancient house to which Bishop Cotton belongede. The crest thus symbolises the godliness, service and courage for which the School stands.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
