Meet Our Head Teacher
It is a real honour to be the Headteacher of this magnificent school. I, and every staff member, have high aspirations for every young person that attends our school. These high expectations are demonstrated through a broad and challenging curriculum, exceptional standards in regards to behaviour and attitudes and a commitment to delivering a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment experiences. We are well known for our outstanding level of pastoral support and care. Our young people are well supported with their personal development but also challenged academically so that they can achieve to the best of their ability. Our outcomes at GCSE and A Level are exceptional and allow OPGS students to acquire the qualifications and skills necessary to take the next steps in their own personal journey.
Please contact the school if you would like to visit us and see for yourself.

Huge congratulations to Ethan who secured pole position, two races wins and an unofficial lap record during free practice during the British Talent Cup (round 4) at Brands Hatch last weekend. This is made even more impressive given it was his first time racing at this circuit. Well done, Ethan.

We would like to wish the entire OPGS community a restful summer. Please do have a read of the Headteacher's Newsletter as this contains important information if you require support over the summer. It is also worth having a good read of the school magazine or listening to the new Science Edit podcast to stay connected with the school over the break. Emergency safeguarding and contact details are also available on our website if you need support. Year 11 and Year 13 students also need to keep an eye on emails for details of results collection. Stay safe and see everyone soon!
