Old Portmuthians
We continue to care about our pupils and staff long after they have stopped coming through the Arch every day.
Our alumni (Old Portmuthians, or OPs) span the globe, and our Development Office helps build and rediscover connections across our community and support the work of the school. They do this through:
- PGS Connect: the best way to keep up to date with all things PGS. It is packed with news, events, photos, opportunities for mentoring and more. Click here to join
- OPUS, our award-winning annual magazine, and regular e-newsletters.
- Raising money to support means-tested bursaries and other special projects in the school through The William Smith Fund.
- Providing careers support: we want to harness the expensive experience of our community to assist pupils and OPs. If you would be willing to share your experience, we would love to hear from you: [email protected].

Archive
The School archive is a popular resource that helps inspire and equip current pupils to understand and appreciate issues of identity, belonging, and shared heritage, and also to prompt memories of school life among many generations of Old Portmuthians.
An incomplete collection of pupil records dating back to the 1950s is securely archived along with a large collection of original and copied school photographs, an almost complete collection of the school magazine dating from the Victorian era, and many other historic documents and artefacts that help tell the story of the school and its community.

Unfortunately, there are many gaps – admission registers, for example, were lost during the Second World War and there are other gaps in photographic coverage when the school’s records were not as valued as they are today. So, if you have any photographs, films, reports, diaries, letters, or other material that sheds light on what life was like in your school days, they will find a safe and valued place in the archives. Alternatively, we would be happy to copy original material, which would be returned swiftly and safely.
If you are a former pupil or member of staff, why not join the PGS Alumni Facebook group? Members have access to thousands of searchable images and there is an incredibly engaged OP community.
Do get in touch with the Development Office if you'd like to add anything to our archive.
