The Sawyers Hall College of Science and Technology (formerly known as The Hedley Walter High School) is a secondary school located in Brentwood, Essex, UK. It is a mixed school of non denominational religion. It initially accepts students from the ages of 11 to 16, the age where they take their GCSE examinations. It then offers the best performing students places in its Sixth Form, giving students the chance to complete their A Level examinations.
1,392 pupils currently attend the school. The school logo is traditionally that of a Griffin. However, since the school has achieved specialist college status its motif has been modernised; it is now a two panelled shield with a griffin above a diagram of an atom. See the [http://www.sawyershall.org.uk/ Official School Website for an example. The uniform was also changed to reflect the new school image.
