Sawyers Hall College of Sport and Science (formerly known as The Hedley Walter High School, then Sawyers Hall College of Science & Technology (or SHC)) is a secondary school located in Brentwood, Essex, England. It is a mixed school of non denominational religion. It initially accepts students from the ages of 11 to 16, the age where they take their GCSE examinations. It then offers the best performing students places in its Sixth Form, giving students the chance to complete their A Level examinations. Approximately 520 pupils currently attend the school, with very few students from minority ethnic backgrounds and a higher proportion of boys than the national average. The school logo is traditionally that of a Griffin. However, when the school achieved specialist college status its motif was modernised; it is now a two panelled shield with a griffin above a diagram of an atom. (See right or the Official School Website for an example). The uniform was changed to reflect the new school image from blue shirts and blue tie with the griffin to blue and white pin striped shirts and a blue tie with the school logo.
