By working closely together in a distinctive, friendly family atmosphere, our teachers and staff ensure your MIGS experience is memorable. With over 300 students, a hundred members of staff, thirty-seven different nationalities in one unique place where each matter and world-class educational standards we are worth a second look. While academic success is at the core of the school mission, there is a strong emphasis on the holistic, self-development of students through involvement in a wide range of sports, STEM, Co-Curricular Activities, and outdoor education. MIGS is proud of its heritage whereby emphasis goes into making the school a place where students, not costs, are the primary driver of improvement. MIGS is governed by a Board of Directors who play an important part in the school community. As overseers of the school, their primary responsibilities are to make strategic decisions about resource and capital investment and in ensuring that statutory legal obligations are met. In the early days of education in the United Kingdom, a grammar school was a term used to differentiate an academic school from other types of school such as religious schools, military schools, and agricultural schools. Grammar schools were usually attended by the elite students who received the best education and the best opportunities to reach their full potential. That is the foundation upon which Mutiara International Grammar School was established. Our mission is to challenge students to reach their full potential by offering an international curriculum that encourages students to become lifelong learners and develop intellectual curiosity with a thirst for innovation. Here at MIGS, we strive to prepare our students for a successful future by ensuring access to the skills and academic qualifications necessary to be responsible, proactive, and productive members of our global society. MIGS combines a reputation of academic excellence with a family-friendly, community outlook. Our students are self-confident, participant stakeholders in all aspects of school and community life-enhancing the lovely, positive feel of the school. As we grasp the competitive nature of the 21st century, it is very important to adapt our educational methods to inspire and motivate students to reach their full potential. The opportunities to engage, collaborate and apply the skills they learn at MIGS will assist our students to excel in their formal studies and their approaches to personal development. It is our intention at MIGS to prepare students thoroughly for further studies in top colleges and universities around the world in whatever endeavors they favor. Life is a learning process and even we as teachers, pride ourselves on continuous change to bettering our teaching and to our personalized approach to education. Our international and local educators have expansive subject knowledge and experience and are committed to the academic, social, and emotional wellbeing of our students. Behind our core is the belief that the main purpose of education is to develop the whole child not just academically, but holistically. Being a small-sized school also ensures that class sizes are not too large, and this enhances the individual time each student has with their teachers and peers. Staffed by a complement of educational and support specialists and an innovative and flexible curriculum structure, we can deliver a more personalized educational experience. We aim to build on each student’s potential to excel in a variety of different directions. Offering an excellent international program, built upon the highest standards of the Cambridge and English National Curriculum, we firmly believe that MIGS is the right choice for your child. As a School, in many ways, we have changed, yet in others, we remain the same. Our premises continue to be refreshed, adding on or refurbishing learning spaces to create optimal learning conditions, but we continue our Mutiaran heritage – a holistic education and a strong family atmosphere. Academic rigor is considered very important but it is complemented by the celebration of learning in the arts, sports, and real world relevant skills such as effective communication and collaboration.

Learning From birth, we are on a journey towards the fulfillment of our God-given purpose. We were designed to be relational beings (both socially and spiritually), interacting with the world that has been entrusted to our care and interacting with each other in the community. Learning is a result of our interaction with each other and our world. The more we embrace life, the more we seek to discover or create, the more we learn and the greater is our potential.

An independent Anglican co-educational boarding and day school, Geelong Grammar School boasts a reputation as a pioneer of modern education. From its origins in 1855, the School has always had a distinctive character. After outgrowing several Geelong locations the School moved to a 245-hectare site on the edge of Corio Bay in 1914, creating the unique learning and living environment that exists today. In 1953 it established Timbertop, a remote campus in the foothills of the Victorian Alps inspired by the philosophies of German educator Kurt Hahn. Timbertop exposes the School’s Year 9 students to intellectual, physical, and emotional challenges under demanding environmental conditions, where they connect to their strengths, develop confidence, and learn the value of cooperative endeavor. The School became co-educational in the early 1970s, preparing students for the dynamic of the modern world through enabling boys and girls to live and learn alongside each other. It is now Australia’s largest co-educational boarding school. Spread across four campuses, it has a non-selective enrolment policy and approximately 1,500 students from Early Learning to Year 12, including more than 800 boarders. The School introduced its transformational Positive Education program in 2009. Developed from the science of Positive Psychology in collaboration with Professor Martin Seligman and his team from the University of Pennsylvania, Positive Education focuses on cultivating positive emotions and character traits, encouraging students to find purpose and lead engaged and meaningful lives. More than 300 Geelong Grammar School staff have taken part in intensive residential training courses and Positive Education is taught at each year level, at every campus, and across all aspects of school life. Explicit teaching is delivered in Years 7, 8, 9, and 10 through specific Positive Psychology programs written by the world’s leading research psychologists and developed in collaboration with experienced classroom teachers. Studies over the past 20 years suggest that these explicit Positive Psychology programs lead students to have increased levels of creativity, better critical thinking skills, and increased levels of positive emotion. They also have significant impacts on depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders.

Mission Boys educated to know, to do, to live with others, and to be. Our mission underpins all that we do at Christ Church Grammar School. It encapsulates the energy, diversity, and rigor of the School’s programs while highlighting the importance of community and the spiritual side of humanity. Adapted from the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-First Century, UNESCO, 1996. Vision A school renowned for building good men to make a positive difference in their world. 899 William McClemans arrived in Perth and was immediately appointed a deacon of the Perth diocese. In the following year, he was ordained as a Church of England priest. During the early years of his professional life, he succeeded the Reverend Canon Charles Lefroy as the fifth rector of Christ Church in Claremont and became a Canon of St George’s Cathedral, the first clergyman ordained in Western Australia to be so appointed. McClemans is fondly remembered as a man with a vision and the person solely responsible for conceiving a school on the grounds where Christ Church campus now resides. In August 1909, McClemans asked the Diocesan Trustees of Western Australia to purchase a block of land for a preparatory school, arguing that ‘at the present time there is no boys’ preparatory school in the state and that if the church does not do something soon, some other religious body will step in, and we shall lose our opportunity. On 7 February 1910 the Reverend William McClemans, the rector of Christ Church, Claremont opened the doors of a small, preparatory school. Christ Church Grammar School is an Anglican school and as part of the Anglican Church of Australia Christ Church is committed to building good men in the Christian faith. At Christ Church, we take a holistic perspective and focus on influencing and inspiring a new generation of boys to make informed decisions regarding their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The Christ Church LW Parry Preparatory School carries an enrolment of 500 boys from Pre-Primary through to Year 6. There are two classes at each level from Pre-Primary to Year 3 and four classes at each level from Year 4 to Year 6. The boys begin their journey through six Phases of Learning from Pre-Primary onwards. The developmental phases center on motivating your son to discover and realize the best in himself and others. In 2019, as part of our new Preparatory School build, Christ Church will open its exciting new Early Learning Community (ELC). The Community will cater for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten boys as well as our Pre-Primary boys and will feature state-of-the-art learning facilities and access to an environment full of discovery. The Christ Church Senior School carries an enrolment of 1160 boys from Year 7 through to Year 12. In Senior School, your son will continue the journey through the Phases of Learning, which center on motivating him to discover and realize the best in himself and others. Boys are challenged to extend themselves during these vital transition years in the Senior School, both in and outside the classroom. This phase aims to expand their view of themselves, explore their abilities in the different subject disciplines, and continue their exploration of the world outside the School. Boys have a greater choice over a range of academic and co-curricular subjects in which they can explore their skills and talents. This phase of learning is the next step towards discovering the men they hope to become as well as helping them to shape their future dreams into achievable goals. In his final two years of schooling, each student takes on the challenge of mastering the skills necessary for his chosen pathway. He is encouraged to take full responsibility for his learning as he focuses on developing excellence and expertise in his six chosen subjects. View full school

Our core aims of Excellence, Community, and Opportunity are encapsulated in everything that we do and add value for all of our pupils. The teaching and non-teaching staff are a positive, hard-working, and dedicated group of people who work tirelessly for the betterment of the pupils and the School in general, making it a happy and positive environment to be part of. We are privileged to enjoy a modern, state-of-the-art building on the Gransha Road, full of light and color and with spaces that foster our strong sense of community and collective pride.

At Kirkham Grammar School we are convinced that in an environment that currently has a high reputation, we must continue to strive to offer the very best to all of our pupils. When one stands still, one is in effect going backward. Kirkham Grammar is a remarkable school within the North-West educational landscape. In nurturing well-qualified, compassionate, self-assured members of the community, our vision sets out the opportunity to look forward and plan without losing sight of what has come before. Every child travels through our school only once and deserves the very best. The family ethos of the school is fundamental and should be a key factor in driving our plans for growth and expansion. Our seven-year vision views the Foundation from 3 – 18 years as the key to our current and future ongoing success. The school has a particular niche within the marketplace and we must be careful to consider this in our planning. The expectation for any potential family joining Kirkham Grammar School is to join us for the journey from Pre-School through to Sixth Form. Therefore, all the facilities we provide and develop are of equal importance. So what is it that makes such a school so special and unique? The range of opportunities given to our pupils is the main reason for such an envious reputation. The virtue of a school does not depend entirely on its classrooms, the equipment in its laboratories, the number of its pupils, nor even the success of its exam results. There is an unseen influence that is exerted by buildings and surroundings that are beautiful and dignified. These are in keeping with fine honorable traditions and high ideals embedded at Kirkham Grammar School. We offer something intangible but very real, the atmosphere in which we dwell and the pervasive spirit which surrounds us, influences all of which we strive to achieve. Our most recent inspection confirmed what we all knew about Kirkham Grammar School it is the best-kept educational secret in Lancashire. However, we are delighted that it has been officially acknowledged against national criteria that we are working hard to ensure our pupils get the finest education. The inspection found that the quality of the pupils' academic and other achievements and the quality of the pupils' personal development is excellent. Pupils reflect the strong family ethos of the school and demonstrate excellent collaboration in and out of lessons. Pupils develop excellent levels of confidence at all ages, supported by the strong PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Educational) and enrichment programs. Pupils show clear respect for different faiths and diversity, demonstrating excellent levels of empathy and tolerance towards others. Pupils make informed choices, empowered and supported by their teachers. View full school

Kassim Darwish Grammar School for Boys is an independent Islamic day school for students aged from 11 to 16 years, located in the Chorlton-Cum-Hardy area of Manchester. We at KD Grammar School think that an excellent education, delivered in a safe caring Islamic environment, gives each pupil room to grow and develop as an individual. Our school strives to create a harmonious balance between academic demands, sporting, and cultural activities, and community life. We encourage students to be intellectually inquisitive and socially conscious. The School believes that while what students know is important, the true measure of a good education is to explore the limitations of their knowledge. All students must sit an entrance examination in Mathematics, English, and Islamic Studies. All candidates will be expected to bring their pen and pencil but they will not need a calculator. The examinations will be spread throughout the morning and boys will be provided with refreshments. Candidates wishing to apply for entry in other years will also need to sit examinations in the core subjects. This is to determine their academic standard within key areas of the National Curriculum. If your son passes, he will be invited to attend, a formal interview with the Head Teacher. Parents are invited to be present. The school will also obtain a confidential report from your son’s current school. A student will only be offered a place if the Head Teacher is satisfied that he has met all the entrance criteria. To maintain small class sizes entry to the school is competitive and based on academic performance and interviews. Opportunities are also provided for our students to be involved in the school and wider community, especially about taking responsibility and developing leadership skills. We aim to develop mature, confident, and well-balanced young men with the personal attributes of resilience and commitment which open the way to the “best” in Higher Education and employment. The majority of pupils who join us in year 7 proceed naturally to university degree courses at the age of 18. KD is a Muslim school that is open to students of all faiths. Overarching and underpinning all of the school’s work are the values of love, respect, compassion, and self-discipline together with a sense of awe and wonder about Allah SWT who sees each child as unique and precious. It is on this solid faith foundation that the school strives to be the best that it can be. Our aim is, therefore, quite simply, to produce both proud British citizens and also ambassadors for Islam. A balance is sought at KD Grammar School to enhance both the importance of a solid education and spiritual guidance and enlightenment which help produce confident young men who will make valid, noble, and worthy contributions to the wider society they live in. Assessment is a vital element in the progress of a pupil and the need for ongoing, teacher-led assessment is a crucial part of effective teaching. Consequently, KD Grammar assesses the progress of students at four points in each academic year, tracking their performance against their target grades. Each of the three termly formal assessments is accompanied by scrutiny of each pupil’s performance to ensure the required level of progress is being maintained and this is fed back to the parents using a data report that is sent home. The fourth assessment is the end-of-year exam which is accompanied by a much more in-depth report, celebrating areas of good progress and highlighting any areas requiring improvement. Year 11 pupils have a slightly different assessment system as they are given GCSE Mocks exams in December to assess their progress towards their target grades for the summer exams. These exams are quickly marked and the results given to parents in an individual report. Much emphasis is placed on the results of these exams as these are often used by colleges for application forms and making offers for places for A level. The GCSE results for KD Grammar are amongst the highest in Manchester, with KD continuing to be the number 1 boys’ school in Manchester. The GCSE pass rate is very nearly twice that of Manchester LEA (49%) and has averaged out at over 91% for the last three years for A*-C (including English and Maths). We at KD Grammar School for Boys strongly believe that a positive partnership with parents is vital for the success of our students. Any parent who has a query or concern, can ring the school office and make any necessary appointments to discuss the relevant queries. View full school

Handsworth Grammar is part of the Grammar Schools in Birmingham, the King Edward VI Foundation, and the King Edward VI Academy Trust. We provide a stimulating and educationally successful environment for our pupils – accepting Boys from age 11 to 16 as well as Boys and Girls at the Sixth Form level. We were rated as Outstanding in every category in our latest Ofsted review and with excellent examination results demand places is high. The School educates students from all over Birmingham and beyond, with a significant proportion living within three miles of us, thereby helping to maintain a strong community aspect. This is the oldest surviving selective school in Birmingham, but at the same time, we are forward-looking. It could be said that HGS reaches for the future from the basis of solid foundations. The foundations manifest themselves in the emphasis given to the importance of work, self-discipline, behavior, and achievement. From that foundation, we can help our students face and meet the needs of this rapidly changing world, by seeking to embrace new technologies and recognizing the importance of links between education and the world of work. At HGS we understand that while academic qualifications are important, education must be broader than that alone. Through the ethos and activities of the School, we strive to have a positive impact upon the students’ spiritual, moral, social, cultural, and academic development and values. We seek to confirm the School as a center of excellence, retaining the traditional values of its foundation, while embracing the opportunities offered by the technological developments of the modern world and serving the locality and the wider Birmingham conurbation. We Aim To: Provide a balanced curriculum, serving the needs of each student. Challenge our students to give their best in all areas and support them in this endeavor. Develop self-respect, independence and initiative promote a climate of trust, openness, and cooperation. Develop a sense of community at the School and amongst those associated with the School. Enable our students to move confidently into the next phase of their education or the workplace. Education must be more than the classroom and collection qualifications. One way in which education is broadened is through the School’s extracurricular activities. An exact listing of the opportunities provided can never be given since some are seasonal and others come and go. At any one time, they range from the sporting and musical activities of the School to the Technology club and inter-firm quiz. Students are encouraged to fill the gaps they spot, although a friendly member of staff is needed to support the activity. The school puts on several concerts each year, helping to encourage the students to gain confidence in themselves by performing in front of an audience or working behind the scenes. Many students partake of instrumental tuition at the School, learning instruments ranging from the guitar to the trombone and from the piano to the Dhol. As a result, we can boast a big band, brass group, string quartet, guitar ensemble, and other groupings. Students are supported through tutorial and careers advice, directed private study, access to our Learning Hub and extensive ICT facilities, a variety of study trips and visits, high-quality help with higher education applications, work experience, and the opportunity to continue with or experience new sport and leisure activities. An active school council representing students’ views is well run by members of the sixth form. There are also many opportunities for extracurricular activities and taking on roles of responsibility within the school. Lessons have a dual focus on Learning Habits as well as learning the content of courses and topics. Learning habits are the routine ways in which we think when are faced with life’s experiences and challenges. As a school, we will focus upon building the 10 habits of Collaborating, Questioning, Listening, Noticing, Planning, Revising, Making Links, Resilience, Capitalising, and Distillation. We want our boys to know what to do when they don’t know what to do by referring to the habits of mind that they have acquired. Dual learning objectives, engaging starter activities, a balance between collaborative and independent learning, activities to assess understanding and progress, creative use of resources and ICT, feedback, and reflective activities will be common features of lessons at Handsworth Grammar School. Handsworth Grammar School aims to make a real and significant difference to the lives of every student that we educate. The extensive opportunities available are created by a School that has acknowledged excellence in a range of areas but which can balance the academic, pastoral, and extracurricular needs of the community with that of the individuals that form its student body. The School provides this purposeful environment with the support of staff who are talented and motivated to nurture the best from each student. View full school

Our Junior School offers a challenging and creative curriculum to inspire our pupils to become problem-solvers and to take risks from early in their school careers. All our Junior School pupils gain automatic entry to the Senior School. The Junior School curriculum is a creative one, where boys use their initiative and dare to take risks. They receive a rich educational diet, released from the constraints of the National Curriculum. They are well-schooled in all of the fundamentals, but bright boys need more than that. Through our skill-based activities, we can broaden the mind and develop natural inquisitiveness. In Years 5 and 6 we have a strong and effective partnership with the Senior School, both in terms of shared facilities and specialist teaching. There is no examination preparation, as Junior School boys have automatic entry into the Senior School. Our options program (running for half a day each week) offers a variety of activities, ranging from robotics to developing the skills needed to become future business entrepreneurs. In Languages, we want boys to be confident in embarking upon new challenges. Hence we study Spanish in Year 3, French in Year 4, Latin in Year 5 and Italian in Year 6.With highly qualified subject specialists and the freedom to offer the most stimulating and challenging courses, each department aims to develop in our boys a strong understanding of their subject, as well as enjoyment of their academic work. The Lower School is all about developing scholars and gentlemen. Our boys come from a diverse range of schools and backgrounds, and around half of our boys come from state primary schools. Our community thrives upon this diversity. Our well-established postcode ‘buddy system’ ensures that every boy arrives knowing someone already at MGS. A specialist Lower School Tutor will oversee your son’s development, guiding and supporting him and helping him to prepare for the challenges and opportunities of Middle School. We keep intelligent and enthusiastic boys busy by providing them with a wide and varied curriculum that nurtures a love of learning, as well as opportunities for lessons to be learned outside the classroom. We have well over 100 weekly clubs on offer. We have trips specially tailored to developing friendships, like the annual form residential to Owls’ Nest and form trips to Castleton, Conwy, and the Blackden Trust. An important part of Lower School is the sense of community that we foster and this comes about through the friendships that boys develop with their classmates, their Tutor, Head of Year, and Head of Section. As a Lower School team, we set high, but realistic, expectations in all areas, and enjoy the diverse company of our enthusiastic and youthful cohort. The Middle School at MGS consists of Years 9 to 11 and concludes with our boys’ first experience of public examinations. The mantra for an MGS Middle Schoolboy is to challenge himself in a variety of ways and the breadth of academic curriculum on offer is simply the start of this. Middle School is a time where MGS boys explore their academic interests whilst being challenged to fine-tune their strengths in preparation for IGCSE/GCSE examinations. Beyond this, Middle School boys play a great role in the co-curricular life of the School. From the Theatre to the Rugby field, from the concert stage to the desert trek, Middle School boys take themselves out of their comfort zone, encountering new horizons and getting to know themselves and their peers better in the process. Making the most of small tutor groups and a team of skilled pastoral staff, the boys in Middle School receive outstanding academic and pastoral support and enjoy three years in a dynamic and encouraging community. Our aim is that all boys leave Middle School having experienced genuine challenges in a friendly and encouraging environment, able to make intelligent well-informed choices for the future, and looking forward to a brilliant Sixth Form career. The Sixth Form is divided into five academic Colleges, containing roughly equal numbers of students from Years 12 and 13. Each college is divided into small tutor groups, led by a Head of College. The person primarily responsible for the academic progress and pastoral welfare of students is the Tutor. The Tutor will help each individual make the transition to the habits and discipline of Sixth Form study, and will also encourage him to develop the skills, competencies, and experiences which will prepare him for life beyond MGS. The Tutor will also write the university reference for each of their tutees, and support them in making well-informed decisions about the future. The Colleges are more than just an administrative group they are also a focus for activities and opportunities to develop new skill sets and take on roles of leadership, responsibility, and service. The School proceeded to build a reputation as one of the country’s leading educational establishments, a position it still holds today as an independent day school. Much has changed in the intervening five hundred years, but our core mission to educate the brightest young men in the North of England regardless of their social, cultural, religious, and financial background, has not. We aim to teach boys to think for themselves and to develop a life-long love of learning. Lessons are taught by academic specialists with a passion for their subject, and teaching goes well beyond the narrow confines of examination syllabuses, offering our students the best preparation for the very top universities, both in this country and abroad. There is, however, much more to an MGS education than what happens in the classroom. What makes this School truly special is the outstanding achievement of our pupils in areas such as sport, music, and drama, and in keeping with Hugh Oldham’s aims we produce well rounded young men who have a true sense of service to their community View full school

Sutton Grammar School is a state-funded selective school for boys and is situated in the center of Sutton. We also welcome girls into our thriving Sixth Form. The school currently has 930 pupils in total which includes five forms of 27 boys in the Lower School, 240 boys in Upper School and 285 students, including girls, in the Sixth Form. Sutton Grammar School is a well-established grammar school that enjoys a fine tradition of academic learning and success. Not only do we feel our students demonstrate ‘Excellence across the curriculum’ but that they also demonstrate ‘Excellence beyond the curriculum’.Pupils are encouraged to participate widely in sporting and cultural activities and greatly enjoy doing so. We delight in developing close links with each family. The School is small enough for us to be able to care about every pupil but large enough to support a successful sixth form, with an appropriate choice of subjects at Advanced Level providing an excellent basis for entry to university and a professional career. The school seeks to provide an exciting and challenging education to the pupils who come here and this includes a significant emphasis put on the extra-curricular life of the school. Activities like sport, music, drama, the Combined Cadet Force, and many varied activities, ranging from board games to debating, operate at lunchtimes and after school – including making use of an early release day in years 7-9. Pupils can learn electronics in early release sessions and then take part in STEM projects in the upper school. Pupils have enjoyed considerable success in science and engineering competitions – including winning national prizes for technical innovation (Intel or Google prize winners for the last five years at the UK Science and Engineering Competitions and in 2017 1st in the UK Intermediate Scientist of the Year and 1st in the Intermediate UK Engineer of the Year). Maths and science subjects are very popular at A-level and we have about ten-twelve students per year move on to medical or dental schools. About twelve boys go on to Cambridge and Oxford Colleges for a whole spectrum of subjects. We enjoy success in a broad range of subjects. We offer three modern languages at A-level. The humanities and English are also very strong. The premises have been improved in recent years and the latest building was the three-story £3m building that houses the sixth form, the geography, and the art departments. We have a large sports ground in Northey Avenue, Cheam. One of the features that we believe contributes to the very positive ethos within the school is our small size. The staff knows the pupils well and pastoral care is given the proper priority to ensure that pupils are stretched academically but are cared for as developing young adults and their mental well-being is very important to us. Where it is needed there is expertise in supporting special needs. Our curriculum is designed to enable pupils to fully realize their academic potential by becoming successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens. It is also designed to equip pupils with the skills and qualities needed to meet the challenges of life in a fast-changing world. Breadth and balance are important features of our curriculum design. The school provides a curriculum for selective pupils aged 11-18. The school’s curriculum is guided by the National Curriculum and we regularly review and update the curriculum, implementing initiatives that best suit pupils of selective ability. Another aspect of our Sixth Form is the pre-U global perspectives course. We expect all students in the sixth form to take this course. It provides valuable experience in reading sources and evaluating arguments that we believe are of value to all students. It is a one-year course assessed by two coursework tasks and a short exam and the result will be available when university applications are made. Here at Sutton Grammar School, we believe that our pupils’ experience should be far more than just academic excellence in lessons leading to examination results. We believe in excellence beyond the curriculum. Curriculum Enrichment is anything that takes place above and beyond a normal school curriculum and will include organized trips, visitors to the school, activities, and educational experiences. The kinds of special educational needs and disabilities that are provided for in our school are those arising from sensory impairments, emotional and behavioral difficulties, difficulties with social communication, specific learning difficulties, and difficulties with mobility or the physical environment.

St. Michael’s is a very special place, it is first and foremost a Catholic school the ethos implanted here by the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus who founded this school and who remain as its trustees continue to this day. The trustees, governors, and staff remain committed to enabling our students to become the person God intended them to be supporting them to make sense of this complex world and to seek out their unique purpose in life. St Michael’s is a place of spiritual formation – we recognize that Jesus has taught us that we should “love one another as he loved us” – and this gives a focus to the pastoral support we offer our young people.

This school exists to enable its young people to move on to the next stage of life’s journey, equipped with the qualifications which will lead them to success, but also the skills and attitudes which will enrich their lives and enable them to take up positions of influence in our society – and so change it for the better.

Even in the context of St Olave's, 2016 was astonishingly successful with 40 Oxbridge offers and 27 for Medicine this year we have exceeded that with 39 Oxbridge and 35 medics. We try to locate academic excellence within the broader concept of true scholarship, encouraging all of our students to become independent thinkers, engaging critically in the learning process through a vibrant approach to intellectual curiosity. 2017 saw some extraordinary sporting achievements.

Every student should be challenged to have the highest aspirations, and committed to developing his or her abilities to the fullest possible extent. Olavians are interesting people who enjoy and get fully involved in, a variety of co-curricular experiences alongside their academic pursuits. The school will provide opportunities for every student to nurture and develop their talents so that their lives are culturally enriched and their involvement enables them to develop wider qualities of leadership, teamwork, reliability, and responsibility to others. St. Olave’s retains a small school ethos where staff know the students well and address their individual needs, and where there is a sense of pride and loyalty in being part of a multi-cultural community. Important traditions that date back over 450 years provide a framework of distinctive Christian values that underpin the work ethic and corporate spirit. These include welcoming individuals from all faiths, or none encouraging understanding, respect, and tolerance for all developing an appreciation of right and wrong within moral and social responsibility ensuring that all our students leave St. Olave’s as compassionate, self-disciplined, independent young adults with the skills necessary to play a full and positive role in society.
