Growing up in Hampshire, I was aware of the formidable reputation of PGS from an early age and am hugely proud to now lead such a prestigious school in a part of the country that I love and have always considered home.
PGS is a family school with each generation supporting the next, whether that is a Senior School pupil acting as a reading mentor for a Junior School pupil, an experienced OP offering work experience to a younger OP straight out of university, or a parent contributing their expertise to conduct practice interviews with sixth formers.
Our aspiration is to help every pupil achieve the very best they can in every aspect of their lives. The support we give our pupils to develop as individuals and as a community are at the heart of PGS, as we seek to prepare them to flourish in life beyond the famous Arch.
We also aspire to have a lifelong relationship with every member of the PGS family, and have created this secure portal to help every individual - OP, parent, member of staff, donor or friend - stay connected with the school and each other, wherever they happen to be in the world.
Once registered, you can keep up-to-date with developments at the school, re-connect with long lost friends, share personal news, seek or offer careers advice, book your place at alumni and school events…and much more.
I hope you will welcome this opportunity to stay connected with our warm and vibrant community.
Enjoy exploring!
