In order for the Governing body to consider an application for Year 7 Entry you are required to complete two forms:

  • An Online Application Form available in September from the Local Authority where you live. This must include St.Olave’s in your order of preference.  Please refer to your Local Authority’s website for further information and the deadline.
  • The School’s Online Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which registers your son to take the SET (Selective Entrance Test). The SIF must be submitted online via the School’s website and by the School’s published deadline (normally during the summer term of an applicant’s Year 5 prior to the SET taking place the following September, with dates published well in advance).

Entrance to Year 7 is via a two stage testing process taking place at the School which determines whether or not candidates are of the School’s required standard for a selective education. The process is academically demanding and parents/carers should bear this in mind when considering an application.

One hundred and twenty four places are available in Year 7 and 1626 applications were made for 2025 Entry.  Places are offered by your Local Authority on National Offer Day on the basis of ranking in the Entrance Test and parental preference indicated on the Local Authority's Form.
