"... aspirational for its pupils."
We have a highly motivated and well qualified staff, supportive parents and, perhaps most importantly, students who are a delight to teach because of their excellent attitude to learning.
Meet Our Director of Sixth Form
At OPGS we are always striving to match the needs of our students to the rapidly changing economic and higher education environments. The number and variety of offers of places from Oxbridge and other elite universities continues to grow. In recent years, we have also consolidated our connections with City firms and engineering companies. Every year we follow with excitement the careers of our students from years gone by. The fact that so many are keen to take current OPGS 6th Forms students on for work experience is testament to the warm and lasting relationships our staff develop with our 6th Form students.

A huge thank you to three of our Head Students; Finn, Charlotte and Josh for leading on the whole school remembrance ceremony. It was a special moment and brought the community together in a moment of respect. However, a special mention must go to Angus, who is in Year 12. Angus has played The Last Post as part of our service for 4 years consecutively. He is an extraordinary talent and wonderful young person. To deliver a note perfect moment of respect in front of over 1000 people was poignant and fitting of the occasion. Thank you, students. #striveandserve
