St Saviour's and St Olave's Church of England School
London, SE1 4AN · Southwark · secondary school
9th of 19 secondary schools in Southwark we can score, 20 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.4/10 against 248 of them, against 7.9/10 nationally. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 54.0 · 72 | 30% | 2.17 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.58 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 52.7 · 80 | 10% | 0.80 |
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, 54.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 52.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.58 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Duke of Edinburgh, gliding, and instrumental tuition. They attend a Cultural Evening, Creative Arts Week, and trips to Spain, France, the Old Bailey, Middle Temple, Canterbury Cathedral, Auschwitz, and Ypres. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 620 pupils in a capacity of 825, leaving 205 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the smaller classes to ensure they remain challenged? What specific support is available for students aiming for high grades in English and maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the academic curriculum?
