From city streets
to mountain paths.
Project Touchline travelled from a small multicultural school in inner-city London to a village school in the Welsh mountains—and listened before it led.
Not a package imposed.
A legacy shaped locally.
Worship opened the story. Sport made the values real. Prayer created room to reflect. Then each school carried forward what mattered most.
The five-week rhythm remained consistent. Its expression did not. These two schools show what happens when one model pays attention to place, people and possibility.
Many cultures.
One language of values.
In the heart of London, faith, sport and reflection gave children a shared way to speak about character.
One joined-up five-week experience
Years 1–4 moved through Collective Worship, weekly rugby and voluntary Prayer Club.
Values became visible choices
Children practised encouragement, respect, perseverance and teamwork in real moments.
Children chose reflection
Prayer Club became so popular that additional sessions were needed.
A language the school can keep using
The games, relationships and reflective rhythms can continue.
“It was fun, but it also helped us become better teammates, better friends and better people.”Year 4 pupils · All Souls
The landscape changed. The school’s needs changed.
The commitment to children did not.
Five weeks passed.
The children carried it on.
In a Welsh village, the journey grew into continuing prayer, pupil leadership and a space children helped create.
Values travelled through rugby and worship
Kindness, respect and teamwork became actions children could practise and name.
Participants became leaders
Pupils helped create a Prayer Space and Worship Leaders gained responsibility.
Faith found room to grow
Prayer Club offered a welcoming place to pause, pray and reflect together.
Prayer Club still meets every week
The programme ended, but its rhythm became part of school life.
What the five weeks
left behind.
“Prayer Club continues to flourish each week. The children have helped create a dedicated Prayer Space and our Worship Leaders now confidently support both Prayer Club and Collective Worship.”Katherine Durbin · Headteacher, Llangattock
Every school has
a story worth growing.
Project Touchline creates five weeks of joined-up experience and helps each community carry forward a legacy of faith, character and belonging.
