[edit] Importance

I am raising the importance of this article for two reasons. The first was that I had heard of the school before, even the neither I nor anyone in my family had gone there. Second, was that enough important alumni does seem to me to raise the importance of having something in an article about their school as a reference in teir biography articles at leasty. --Jvv62 02:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why a griffin?

Why is the image a griffin shown in the Infobox? The implicatin is that this is the arms of the school, but the school's own website shows something quite different: A black fess between three red lion's heads ([1])! --Ant 21:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The griffin is Pomfret's mascot and former arms (I'm not sure when exactly it was changed, but it was after 1971 because there's a podium in the auditorium made as a gift by the class of '71 that depicts a griffin on a shield much like the one that was in the Infobox). The black fess and the lion's heads is the school's current arms, so I suppose it was right to remove the outdated image. Lizardking42 15:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
