School Motto and Crest
The Motto
Cambridge High School's motto - "fortiter et recte" - means "to be strong, or to have the courage to do the right thing."
This motto, combined with the shield, is a constant reminder to our school community that moral strength and learning provide the key to the journey of life.
The Crest
| Several symbols are enclosed within a traditional heraldic shield divided into four quadrants, each with a key symbol: |  |
The castle: symbolises tradition and lasting strength
The key: symbolises respect and which relates to the ‘key to life'
The river: symbolises - through its journey to the sea - the journey of life, and life-long learning.
In total, our values, motto, mission statement, and cornerstones are cumulative and together give us our clear direction and pathway.
