St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (/ˈoʊlævz/ or /ˈɒlɪvz/) is a highly selective boys' secondary school in Orpington, Greater London, England. The school is also known as St Olave's, St Olave's Grammar School, STOGS or simply Olave's.
The school in its current state was formed from an agreement in 1896 between two schools, St Olave's Grammar School (Charter 1571), and St Saviour's Grammar School (Charter 1562). A sister school, St Saviour's and St Olave's Church of England School, was established in 1903. St Olave's Grammar School was founded for the parish of St Olave in Southwark (1096-1926) which was named after Saint Olaf. They also have strong links with other schools through the Woodard Foundation.
The school is consistently one of the top achieving state schools in the UK. It was The Sunday Times State School of the Year in 2008 and in 2011 was ranked as the fourth best performing state school in the country at A-level by the Financial Times.
Originally situated on Tooley Street in Southwark, within the parish of St Olave's, the school moved to suburbanite Orpington in 1968. The Tooley Street building is now a hotel.
