Our School

OMG Education is an independent school for pupils aged 11 to 18 (KS3 to Sixth Form) who have been excluded from or struggled to thrive in mainstream education. 

 

Too many of London’s young people have slipped through the cracks of the education system - misunderstood, labelled and feeling unable to access an education that can offer them the best chances in life.

 

At OMG, we offer a different education to anyone else, as we believe it’s not the student who should have to change to fit the system. It’s the school that should change to fit the student, helping them realise their potential.

 

We believe Every Young Life Matters. OMG offers a fresh start for young people and a place where they are met with understanding and respect tailored to their individual needs. Our approach is flexible, creative, and rooted in music, helping students reconnect with learning, find their voice, and begin to feel that they can build towards a positive future.

 

The curriculum encompasses a diverse range of subjects, as highlighted in our latest Ofsted report, and a significant highlight for students is our state-of-the-art recording studio and DJ decks.

 

When asked about the difference between OMG and his former school, one pupil said: “No one ever puts anyone down. We're always building each other up. For instance, I'm big on music. I'm really passionate about music, so learning through it has been amazing.

“It's done a lot for me, like in terms of my mental health.”

 

At OMG, school finally feels like a place where these young people want to be.

One student shared: "Now that I'm coming to OMG, my mum's telling me why am I leaving home so early?! I'm all set and ready by 6:30, 7 o'clock. That's how much I enjoy coming here."
