The supporters a wolf and a goat are taken from the realm of folklore and fairy-tale, appropriate for a children's home. They reflect the lion and the unicorn (a carnivore and a horned ungulate) at a more homely level, but their significance is open to various interpretations. They could stand for the two kinds of handicap in Sunfield's children, the wild behaviour problem on the one hand and the genetic mischance on the other; like the animals, each has its good side - the wild can be fiercely loyal while the obstinate can also be resolute. Again they might be seen as standing for those who literally support Sunfield, the workers and the givers, or the W and G theme could stand for the two founders, Wilson (whose family bears a wolf in their arms) and Geuter (with a play on the sound of the name). | The supporters a wolf and a goat are taken from the realm of folklore and fairy-tale, appropriate for a children's home.
