Summer Telephone Campaign 2023

PGS Summer Telephone Campaigns raise vital funds for bursaries at PGS.

In the coming weeks, current pupils and recent leavers of The Portsmouth Grammar School will be calling the OP community and we hope you will be keen to take our call. Your invaluable insight of PGS will give callers the opportunity to seek advice on life after school and hear about your own experiences of PGS and life beyond the arch.

As part of the conversation, our callers would also love to give you a first-hand account of the different ways that we support our pupils and the success that has achieved to date thanks to the generosity of our OP community. During our last campaign, in 2021, we were fortunate enough that 250 people came together to raise more than £130,000 in support of The William Smith Fund, enabling young people from the local community to attend PGS regardless of financial means. This year we are hoping to expand on that support by encouraging our community to support this year's Telephone Campaign.

Involvement from our worldwide community makes PGS the place it is today. Whilst we celebrate our recent successes, we are also looking to the future and are committed to our vision of ultimately becoming a needs blind school. Please join us on this journey.

If you'd like to support today, please do so by visiting our dedicated Support Us page.
