2. Introduction to PGL
More than just a school trip
We’ll inspire, motivate and challenge your pupils to raise aspirations, build their confidence and support their achievement. Each day brings a new adventure and the chance to try something new with the encouragement of their friends.  Bring them back more inspired and eager to learn - even walking a little taller!
Bringing out the best in young people is what we do best and with PGL, you can be sure you’ll get the very best support for a great school trip. With us, everything is included – the activities, equipment, accommodation and food. Your dedicated ‘Groupie’ will be on hand to support you and your group and they’ll run lively entertainment sessions in the evenings so you can relax after a busy day.
Marchants Hill adventure centre is conveniently placed for primary schools from London and the surrounding area. It’s close to London but once you’re here, it’s like being in the countryside.
