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.
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.

Such a fantastic visit from renowned author, dramatist, composer and lyricist @willyrussell_official and the team from @bloomsburypublishing earlier this week who were here to award Ifan with his prize for winning the young writers Methuen playwriting competition. Ifan's piece, '212' was praised by judges for its vivid social commentary and authentic voice. As part of the prize our Drama students also enjoyed a Blood Brothers (one of Russell's plays) workshop from Stage-Ed. Such a fantastic day. Thank you to all involved.
