St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School, Grammar school in Orpington, United Kingdom.
St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School is a boys' secondary school in Orpington featuring modern facilities spread across several buildings, including specialized classrooms, sports halls, and a separate sixth form block. The campus is organized to accommodate different academic and sporting activities across its various structures.
The school was founded in 1571 when it received a royal charter, but originally operated at several locations in Southwark. It moved to its present site in Orpington in 1968, where it has remained since.
The school is divided into four houses - Bingham, Cure, Harvard, and Leeke - which organize competitions and activities throughout the school year. This structure creates smaller communities within the larger institution.
Admission to the school is determined by a two-stage entrance examination that tests skills in English, Mathematics, and reasoning abilities. The campus is in active use during term time for regular academic activities, so visits should be arranged accordingly.
The school has a special connection to the Royal Chapel of the Savoy in London, providing choristers exclusively for its choir. This tradition links the campus to one of London's oldest royal chapels.
