The Martinian Coat of Arms was designed by Major General Claude Martin himself. It is supported by seven flags each bearing the design of a fish, the emblem of Oudh. These flags represent his journey over "the seven seas" to India. The devices on the escutcheon (shield) epitomize Claude Martin's career: The ship recalls his voyage to India where, center of the shield, he firmly established his fortunes in Oudh, as an officer of the East India Company. This is represented by the lion with the pennant. The setting sun behind the castellated building on the right, indicates the sunset of his days and the important part which the building of "Constantia" played in his twilight years.

School Motto "LABOR ET CONSTANTIA" - By hard work and consistent effort, you can reach great heights in life.
