St Olaves Grammar Cadet Corps

Much beloved by a number of dealers as a rare cadet badge these silver badges are imo school cap badges and not a cadet corps cap badge. The school cadet corps was affiliated to the 21st Londons and wore their insignia.

The fact they are silver and the 3 loop fittings do not suggest a military cap badge.

Can't find a photo but an article about the school during WW2 states :

However, the school rules were relaxed for the duration, and the only mandatory uniform was the school-cap with it's sterling silver badge, and school-tie, which I obtained from the school.
