The Saddlers’ Company shield is mounted on the gallery in the Great Hall. The Saddlers’ Company awards six academic scholarships to Alleyn’s pupils each year. The connection with the Worshipful Company of Saddlers came about after the government withdrew state support for grant-aided schools in 1970. The Clerk to the Saddlers’ Company drew the Court’s attention to the problem that this would cause to Alleyn’s School. The Saddlers’ Company decided ‘to  sponsor Alleyn’s School, and to provide funds, not exceeding £25,000 per annum, to fill the gap caused by the withdrawal of the Inner London Education Authority’s annual grant to this School’. The Saddlers’ Scholars at Alleyn’s have made – and continue to make – a major contribution in raising the level of the School’s academic attainment.
