Primary Schools: Adventure Study
A PGL Adventure Study residential course will help to bring subject areas to life for your pupils. Academic skills are applied with direct reference to the adventure activities on offer, from recording data to experimenting with robotics, exploring local history or experiencing a foreign culture.
Adventure Study courses are available at PGL centres in the UK and France. Multi-Activity and adventure options can be mixed with stand alone sessions of your chosen subject, or we can arrange a more comprehensive project based course with integrated activity sessions. Subjects available are ICT, Science, Field Studies and French Language.
