New Badge

To coincide with the launch of the new name of the academy a new badge has been designed to reflect not only its history, but the present and future. The tree celebrates the one which was on the original Regis School badge. A cross in the top left corner is taken from the city of Wolverhampton coat of arms, the crown in the middle represents the continued links to The King and cross keys of St Peter in the top right hand corner represent close links to sister academy St Peter's Collegiate Academy.
