The supporter on the left is a dragon representing the City of London. In one claw it holds an abacus to acknowledge Sir John Stuttard’s contribution. Sir John has an abacus in his shield as he is an accountant; the abacus also represents calculation and mathematics in education.

The other supporter is a barn owl—for wisdom. On the underside of the wing is a representation of swords on a scallop—elements that feature in the arms of Sir Paul Judge. Scallops are a symbol of pilgrimage—in our case through life and learning. Both supporters stand on red books, again to represent learning. In the owl’s beak a mouse hangs by its tail. This is a pun on the modern way of learning via computer and mouse.
