Setting the standard
Our REACH Framework
In Safe Hands
Better Beyond Adventure
Recent research by PGL has
highlighted how important learning
outside the classroom experiences are
for teachers, with over 80% of those
surveyed rating it as very important.
PGL Beyond’s experiences are
created to empower young people to
push outside of their comfort zones,
try new things, and put their potential
to the test.
PGL Beyond’s REACH framework has
been developed alongside teachers
to focus on the crucial learning
outcomes that help to nurture
young people to exceed their own
expectations!
The safety of your students is so
important to us, it’s one of our
company values, and over the years
we’ve led the sector in delivering
experiences with the highest
standards of safety across all our trips.
As a family of brands, we’re dedicated
to improving the lives of young
people, both now and in the future.
That’s why we’ve made our Better
Beyond Adventure commitment, to
make our business more responsible
and more sustainable for future
generations. Better Beyond Adventure

three important pillars; Champions of
Wellbeing; Playing our Part; and Our

Abilities, Character, and Health,
our framework ensures that there’s
an experience to suit each stage
of a young persons’ education and
development needs. So, across our
network of brands every experience
we offer is a spark for a young
person’s self-belief.
