St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School
Orpington, BR6 9SH · Bromley · Grammar school
1st of 19 secondary schools in Bromley we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.9/10 against 253 of them, against 10.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 100.0 · 100 | 46% | 4.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.27 · 99 | 38% | 3.82 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 83.6 · 100 | 15% | 1.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 100.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 83.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.27 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 10.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join F1 in Schools, VEX Robotics, Environmental Society, and Olave's Reading clubs. They play rugby and participate in the Cultural Evening and Black History Month Show. Trips include World Challenge and Operation Wallacea. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1084 pupils in a school with 838 places, meaning it is over capacity by 246. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new students when the student body exceeds its physical capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who need additional help in maths, given the high attainment figures? How does the after-school club operate on days when rugby training is scheduled?
