SUPPORTING THE SECONDARY CURRICULUM

A trip with PGL offers significant opportunities for your pupils to experience learning in a new, stimulating and caring environment which directly supports the work they do in school.

The focus of all our courses is on developing self-esteem, peer support, confidence and positive attitudes, contributing to raised aspirations and improved levels of achievement.

You can be confident that we will support your educational needs and that your group will benefit from a meaningful learning experience with PGL.

KEY STAGE 3 / S1 – S3

(PRE-EXAMINATION GROUPS)

Supporting whole school and cross-curricular objectives

With demonstrable connections to the Learning Outside the Classroom manifesto / Taking Learning Outside, our courses link to the development of a broad range of whole school objectives including personal and social development, healthy and active lifestyles and study skills. Our overseas courses even include learning outcomes relevant to individual subjects such as modern languages and geography - and are hugely beneficial in terms of general motivation.

In addition, introducing our wide range of new and different activities in such a positive and supportive setting will encourage your pupils to pursue their new-found interests in after-school clubs - thereby helping to fulfil the ambition of 5 hours of high quality sport and PE per week.

Supporting the PE Curriculum

PGL courses contribute to a broad range of PE objectives including many aspects of the Key Stage 3 Programmes of Study in PE in addition to the whole school objectives mentioned above.

Adventurous activities will often stimulate pupils who have otherwise shown limited interest in PE in the school environment. A trip with PGL is an easy way for you to promote the range and excitement of the opportunities within the PE syllabus in addition to what is available in school.

A PGL experience for pre-examination groups thereby encourages more of your pupils to recognise their own potential and interest in the subject and to take up a long course GCSE option - or to opt for BTEC PE.

KEY STAGE 4 / S4 - S5 AND 16+

(EXAMINATION GROUPS)

Supporting whole school and cross-curricular objectives

The combination of learning outcomes play a role in achieving whole- school objectives at Key Stage 4, such as aspects of Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS). We are confident that a trip to one of PGL’s excellent centres will not only be relevant to your pupils’ educational needs, it will also contribute in no small way to their continuing motivation and ultimate success.
