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.

The Science Department have just released their latest newsletter. Lots there to watch, listen and read - for students, staff and parents. Don't forget there's also The Science Edit podcast, created by Head of Science, Miss Limer with contributions from our brilliant science staff and of course some of our A Level students. If you are joining us in September, whether in Year 7 or in Year 12, it'll give you an excellent insight into the knowledge and passion staff have for their subjects at OPGS.
