"... 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.

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.
