From the St Saviour's and St Olave's Church of England School
As a grammar school for girls, St. Saviour's & St. Olave's School was established in 1903. It is a property of the St. Olave's & St. Saviour's Schools Foundation, which can trace its roots back to Queen Elizabeth I and four centuries ago. Two ancient grammar schools, the St.Saviour's Grammar School, which was granted a Charter by Queen Elizabeth in 1562, and St. Olave's Grammar School, which received its Charter in 1571, were among several educational institutions supported and financed by the voluntary efforts of the citizens of Southwark and finally amalgamated in 1899 into the present Foundation. Eighty-four girls attended the school's inaugural opening on January 26, 1903, which took place on the grounds of St. John's Elementary School. The building was completed and opened by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales (afterwards King George V and Queen Mary) on 14th March, a date kept as the School Birthday and marked each year by a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Southwark Cathedral. In 2003, the culmination of our centennial celebrations was HM Queen Elizbeth II's visit. St. Saviour's & St. Olave's is a school with volunteer aid. The buildings are owned by the Governors, who are also in charge of their general upkeep.
