基本資料 | Information

St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (/ˈoʊlævz/ or /ˈɒlɪvz/) is a boys selective secondary school in Orpington, Greater London, England. The school is also known as St Olave's Grammar School, or simply St Olave's. It has admitted girls to its sixth form (years 12 and 13) since 1998.

The school in its current state was formed from an agreement in 1896 between two schools, St Olave's Grammar School (Charter 1571), and St Saviour's Grammar School (Charter 1562). St Olave's Grammar School was founded for the parish of St Olave in Southwark (1096-1926) which was named after Saint Olaf.

The school occupied several sites in Southwark, finally establishing a more permanent location on Tooley Street in 1893. The school moved to suburban Orpington in 1968. The Tooley Street building is now a hotel (The LaLiT).

The school is consistently one of the top achieving state schools in the UK. It was the Sunday Times State School of the Year in 2008 and in 2011 was ranked as the fourth best performing state school in the country at A-level by the Financial Times.

The school is highly selective at both initial entry and for entry to the sixth form, but it has been criticised for policies that led to students being excluded from the sixth form for not achieving high grades. In 2017, parents threatened legal action against the policies applied by headteacher Aydin Önaç (who subsequently resigned), and the London Borough of Bromley instituted an inquiry whose highly critical report was published in July 2018.
