Management
OLMSSS is run by the Institute of Black Culture, Media and Sport, a social enterprise Community interest Company, with a board of three directors who are educators and entrepreneurs. The Institute offers wide-ranging services and activities to Londoners generally; but primarily targets residents of East and North London boroughs.
Teachers
Our teachers are qualified, DBS-checked and highly motivated.
Behaviour policy
Since Saturday school hours are limited, parents will be asked to collect disruptive children or have them privately tutored by OLMSSS. See Private tuition rates.
Prize Giving
OLMSSS will celebrate students’ achievements at an annual prize giving evening. Outstanding performances will be rewarded at the end of each school year, in October. Prizes will be given for English, maths, computer competence and learning tour essays. Prizes will also be given for surprises.

Complaints procedure
There should never be anything for parents to complain about; but if there is, please follow these procedures:
- Resolve the matter with coordinator or admin officer.
- Send a written complaint to OLMSSS via the contact us page. Still not happy?
- Request a private meeting with the chair of the Institute. That should do it.
- But if it doesn’t, final appeal to the board of directors of the Institute of Black Culture, media and sport.
