"... aspirational for its pupils."

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.

Meet Our Head Teacher

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.

    Absolutely delighted to accept this gift from the Simmons family, who live locally. The map was found in their house and they've kindly paid to have it professionally mounted and framed in order to gift it to the school. The map is from 1932 and Mrs Craig has enjoyed showing it off this afternoon and pointing out that almost 100 years ago, our current site was in fact a golf course. Huge thank you to the Simmons family.
