St Saviour's and St Olave's Church of England School

St Saviour's and St Olave's Church of England School is a comprehensive secondary school for girls. It is a voluntary aided Church of England school in the Anglican Diocese of Southwark and is affiliated to the Woodard Schools group.^[1]

It caters for girls aged 11–18 and is sited on New Kent Road near Elephant and Castle, in the London Borough of Southwark.

The school was founded in 1903 as a girls' grammar school to complement St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School for boys. Both schools are beneficiaries of the charity St Olave's and St Saviour's Schools Foundation,^[2] which in turn is a beneficiary of The Dulwich Estate, successor to the historic Alleyn's College charity.^[3] (See also St Saviour's Grammar School, and St Olave's Grammar School.)
