Heraldry
The school badge is a white shield with two redbars above which are three red discs: an escutcheon argent with two bars vert and three pommes in the chief. The heraldry is derived from that of the Bourne Town Council (formerly Bourne UDC), which in turn, is based on the arms of the Wake family, medieval lords of the Manor of Bourne. The school shares the town motto "Vigila et Ora", meaning "Watch and Pray". The reference is Christ's injunction to His disciples in St. Matthew's Gospel.
