"... aspirational for its pupils."
At OPGS, we hold firm on our responsibility to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, an exceptional standard of teaching and learning and a wider range of extra-curricular opportunities.

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.

Presentation Evening remains one of the most important events in our school calendar. It is a chance to celebrate the success of others; to acknowledge the progress made by the students. It is a chance to connect with parents and carers and thank them for their support as well as a chance to recognise sporting and artistic talent. This year we were delighted to be joined by Dr Morgan Sands. As a former student, his keynote speech reflected his deep gratitude to the teachers who have shaped his life and offered those students in attendance a chance to see the transformative powers of OPGS.
