Enrichment is (and always has been) at the heart of PGL. For over 65 years we’ve been creating life-shaping experiences, helping millions of young people build confidence, resilience and skills for life, creating positive impact from primary school right through secondary education.
Our approach is built around meaningful outcomes for every child, with frameworks such as REACH and Skills Builder helping schools link adventure to real personal development. The result is enrichment with energy, purpose and impact: out-of-the-ordinary adventures that help more young people discover what they are truly capable of.
Enrichment shaped around young people.
Young people’s needs never stand still, and neither do our programmes. We continually evolve our adventures to meet the challenges and opportunities they face. From building confidence during the transition to secondary school to boosting wellbeing, stepping away from screens and reconnecting face to face, our programmes tackle the challenges that matter.
Preparing young people for what comes next is fundamental to our work with secondary students. We help them build the essential skills to shape a successful path through education, training and into employment.
Enrichment experiences across multiple categories
Whatever your school’s enrichment priorities, there’s a PGL experience to bring them to life. Discover purposeful adventures, for primary and secondary students, across multiple categories, helping young people develop new skills, strengthen relationships and achieve breakthroughs that last long after they return to the classroom.
