st saviour's and st olave's church of england school
London
We are a fully inclusive and very successful inner city Church of England school
for girls. I hope this website will give you a flavour of the amazing range of
opportunities available here to our students, as well as a sense of our proud
history and exciting future. With roots that can be traced back to 1562, and
only six headteachers in the last 116 years, we provide an educational
environment of stability and tradition that enables our whole community to learn
from the very best of our shared heritage. Our students consistently achieve
outstanding results, and many have gone on to study at the most prestigious
universities in the UK, including Natural Sciences at Cambridge, PPE at Oxford,
Physics at Manchester, and Art at Central St Martins. Last year, four of our
sixth formers went on to study medicine – unmatched in South London. We are
proud of this great academic success but that is far from the whole story of
SSSO. We are a community with shared values rooted in our faith, and we work
closely with a range of partners as well as parents to ensure our students have
opportunities to grow in to confident, caring and successful young women. They
learn to value themselves and others, to become participants in a greater
community. St Saviour’s girls are generous with their time and energy,
supporting their peers as mentors, school councillors and house captains, and
they raise thousands of pounds each year for charities in the local and
international community. Our students’ success in every aspect of their
development is supported and encouraged by a dedicated and highly skilled staff,
who give freely of their time and energy to ensure every St Saviour’s girl has
the opportunity to excel. Through the formal curriculum and in the vast range of
extra-curricular provision, we believe every girl will find something to
challenge and inspire her. I am proud to have been the headteacher of this
school since 2013, grounded in our traditions and our values which were
established in 1903, we offer exciting and innovative educational opportunities
which will allow your daughter to flourish.
