We have two Open Mornings in December when prospective applicants can visit lessons and see the school as it is on a working day.  

For students who apply to OPGS Sixth Form, there are two Taster Days in June/July. Students will follow a Sixth Form timetable in their chosen subjects and meet their future classmates and teachers. In 2025, prospective students were given the opportunity to spend the second day in a university setting and work on a small project to sharpen their skills and build relationships before joining us in September.

This is your chance to visit the UTCN building, either before or after our Year 10 or Year 12 Open Evening!

Please note that 1 ticket must be booked per person attending.

Find out how we help our students get a career in Science, Health, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

Meet with the Admissions Team and learn about the amazing opportunities our school offers and our unique, enhanced GCSE and T Level and A Level curriculum.

Tours are open to parents, carers and students looking to join us in Year 10 and Year 12 in September onwards.
