Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 22, 1965.
The design of the arms is divided per pale, which is the usual practice for a town school, with a version of the arms of the Burgh of Denny and Dunipace on the dexter side, and charges relevant to the school on the sinister side.
On account of the narrower half shield, the angel's palm branches of the original burgh arms (granted in 1956) have been moved to the opposite side of the shield and placed between a book and a cogwheel, for education, and a cinquefoil.
The flower references the gillyflower of the Livingstones, who owned land in the Denny area from the early 17th century.
