PGL Activity Trip

Students Enjoy Fun-Filled PGL Activity Weekend

A group of fifty students from The Avon Valley School and Performing Arts College recently visited PGL’s Caythorpe Court, in Lincolnshire, as part of an adventurous school visit.

The Year 9 students took part in a range of exciting activities during the extra-curricular weekend visit. During the trip students spent time on the centre’s lake testing their balance while paddle boarding. The daring students conquered their fears as they scaled heights on the zip-wire, giant swing, and strenuous Jacob’s ladder. There was also the opportunity to try new activities such as archery tag and laser tag.

Throughout the weekend the students were guided and encouraged by their teachers and expert PGL staff, who demonstrated techniques and encouraged the students to step outside their comfort zones.

Trip organiser and Head of Year 9, Carole Labrieze, said: “We had a fantastic weekend with PGL, throughout which the students were absolutely amazing. It was great to see so many of them really challenging themselves to go out of their comfort zones by getting involved with all the activities.”

Blake Francis, Headteacher, said, “School is about so much more than what happens in the classroom. Having experiences like attending the PGL activity weekend is really important, as they help our students develop their confidence and teamwork skills. I have really enjoyed hearing about the trip from the students, and it sounds like they had a brilliant time. I also want to thank our dedicated staff for giving up their weekend to accompany the students on the trip.”
