What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils at St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School benefit from an exceptional all- round education. The school vision of 'Happiness - Success - Community' is deeply embedded in the day-to-day life of the school. The highly ambitious curriculum enables pupils to make exceptional progress. Results in national tests are very high for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school also provides exceptional pastoral support to its pupils. They feel very happy and safe at school. If they have any concerns or worries, they know that the school's pastoral team will support them. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary, both in lessons and around the school site. Sixth-form students act as role models and mentors for younger pupils. There are many well-attended clubs and societies run by sixth-form students. These include computer game design, debating, classics and board games. Pupils can join one of the many sports teams, music ensembles, or drama productions. They can also represent the school in external competitions on robotics, engineering or space design. All pupils take part in political awareness week, diversity week and activities weeks. Parents and carers are incredibly positive about the school. One stakeholder said, representing the views of many, 'it's quite a special place, quite unique.'
