Working in purposeful partnership with our wider communities we broaden horizons and nurture a cosmopolitan outlook.
Located at the heart of Portsmouth and founded to serve the city, we are committed to working in purposeful partnership with a variety of partners across the city, local area, and indeed, around the world. Through offering our pupils opportunities to engage actively with their wider communities, we help them to understand the value of making a positive contribution to the world around them, and we equip them with the skills and the qualities of leadership to do so. Pupils leave PGS with a strong understanding of what it means to be a responsible member of, a global community and our many partnerships are central to our pupils’ development in so many ways: this is about preparing pupils for life at 25.
Community, Action, Workplace Sixth Form Programme
As part of the Sixth Form enrichment curriculum, Year 12 pupils take part in our Community, Action, Workplace programme, spending one afternoon each week engaging directly with our wider communities. Pupils are able to select a contribution which resonates with them, while developing a powerful range of skills for the world beyond school.
More Able Learners Event
Our More Able Learners Event offers Year 5 pupils from schools in Portsmouth the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting and challenging educational activities alongside curious and creative young people from other schools. Held in the Summer Term each year, please do get in touch if you are interested in your school participating, contact Mrs Julie Jackson, Assistant Head (Admissions and Partnerships).
