Overview

The Governing Body is responsible for admissions. It is intended that the School will continue to offer an education particularly suited to the more academic child; it will also continue to offer the opportunity for the development of high standards in extra-curricular activities  such as music, drama and games. In accepting a place parents undertake to ensure their child's full commitment to both the curricular and extra-curricular life of the School as a matter in usual circumstances of first priority. Parents should be aware that, while admission to the School is on the basis of academic ability, St Olave’s is a Church of England School. The values which inform the life of the School are those of the Christian faith. These values include respect for members of other faith communities or none. We wish to ensure that all students benefit from membership of an Anglican Foundation serving a multi-cultural community. Students who come to the School from a wide area of South London and North Kent come from a diverse range of backgrounds.
