INFORMATION
 
The School's motto is french and simply means 'humility and loyalty'. The shield may be described as 'Argent, a saltire azure, with a dragon d'Or rampant fess'.

The school has a House system, which was created to stimulate social, recreational and competitive activities and every pupil is assigned to one of four Houses. It is usual for members of a family to be put into the same House. School sports clothing displays a distinctive House colour. The four Houses are Rollo, Mortain, Warenne and Busli. Rollo was the family name of King William,  while the other three houses are named after three of his knights.
 

Between them they owned all of the land making up the school’s catchment area - what was not their’s was the King’s. Mortain was Count Mortain, half brother to the King who was responsible for building Laughton Church. Warenne was the family name of William de Warenne, a notable Baron who built Harthill Church and held the honour of Conisbrough Castle. Busli was the family name of one of William’s trusted retainers, Roger de Busli, who was given Tickhill Manor and who built the first castle in Tickhill.
