LEICESTER GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRUST
Official blazon
|}
Origin/meaning
The coat of arms connects to the history of the school, with each symbol representing a significant part of Leicester Grammar School.
The gold and blue are the school colours. The centre of the shield is dominated by a cross which signifies Leicester Grammar School’s Christian ethos; the cross is framed by two torches representing education and enlightenment. There are two to signify the coeducational nature of Leicester Grammar School.
The three golden balls in the centre of the shield relate to St. Nicholas, whom the school chapel is named after. They represent the three schools in the LGS trust and also represent the three headmasters that Leicester Grammar School has had over the years.
A crown is situated above the helmet to symbolise the royal visit paid to LGS when it first moved to Great Glen, and on the crown are two cinquefoils, which are symbols of Leicester. The fox above the crown signifies both Leicestershire and the countryside.
