Special Awards

At St Saviour’s and St Olave’s School we are proud to be supported by an enormous range of people and organisations that choose to support our Sixth Form Students financially in the form of bursaries and scholarships. Last year the sum of these prizes was over £10,000. These are awarded for a range of things such as achievement, endeavour, service to our community among others.
