Field Studies

Our Field Studies specialists have created an extensive range of field study modules which capitalise on the stunning environments our Field Studies Centres are based in. Modules are tailor made to meet requirements of the five major exam boards - WJEC, OCR, Edexcel SQA and AQA.

When you take your pupils on a Field Studies trip you want to be sure it will benefit their performance back at school.

Our Field Studies courses are tailor-made in consultation with teachers so that you focus on the areas of the curriculum which you need to cover.

PGL instructors encourage a 'hands-on' approach to ensure that students receive a stimulating and memorable learning experience.

Our Field Studies modules sit under the broad headings of Biology, Environmental Science, Geology, Human and Physical Geography.


Specialist Field Studies StaffAt PGL we provide specialist staff for your Field Studies residential, they are experienced in dealing with school groups in fieldwork locations and take responsibility for the safety of your group during sessions. Prior to your trip you will be in contact with a course director who will customise your field studies course to meet your exact requirements.
