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. We have high standards of behaviour and our pupils are ‘polite and courteous,’ contributing significantly to our consistently positive learning environment.
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.

What a term! We had the exciting news of a record number of first choices for Year 7 applications as well as our highest number of 6th form applications. We've had 6th form students receive offers from the very best universities, hosted 'Get into Teaching' events and currently have a number of staff and students in Sri Lanka doing important conservation work. The Senior Team would like to thank students for their hard work, parents and carers for their support and staff for their total dedication. Have a well earned rest everyone! (We come back on a Week 2).
