North Shropshire College is based on a campus just outside Oswestry, and is a shining example of modern educational achievement.
The badge is a twentieth-century mash-up of ancient influences.
The ‘lion-passant’, most famous for its presence on the arms of England, was on the arms of the old Oswestry Town Council; the (single) loggerhead and fleur-de-lys come from the arms of Shropshire County; the blue colouring comes from the Shropshire County badge; while the wavy lines must represent the River Perry, surely? (Does anyone know for sure?)
