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.

An outstanding opportunity yesterday for our students. We were fortunate to have a fully qualified football referee, who currently refs in the Women's Super League, come in and offer some referee training to our students. As part of Volunteering Day in our school, several students will be reffing a football tournament. They are now fully prepared, trained and ready to ref accurately and professionally. Thank you to Kirsty for coming in.

Good Luck to all of our Year 11 students who begin their GCSE examinations tomorrow. What a fantastic morning we had celebrating your five years with us and of course finishing off our Leavers' Breakfast and Presentations with shirt signing. Your applause for Mr Devonald who has supported you all for four years as Director of Study summed up how much of a community we are here at OPGS. We know that your are going to give everything to your GCSE examinations and are here to support you all the way. See you tomorrow!
