Sawyers Hall College of Sport and Science (formerly known as The Hedley Walter High School, then Sawyers Hall College of Science & Technology (or SHC)) was a secondary school located in Brentwood, Essex, England.
However, when the school achieved specialist college status its motif was modernised; it became a two panelled shield with a griffin above a diagram of an atom.
The main assembly hall was part of the James Reddell building, in which the classes were science, technology and ICT.
