Schools & Impact

Supporting Schools, Strengthening Culture & Shaping Lasting Change

Since 2018, Project Touchline has partnered with around 150 schools. The programme is relational and adaptable — designed to support each school’s unique vision, values and context.

What Schools Often Notice

Schools regularly report:

calmer lunchtimes
stronger pupil relationships
increased encouragement and peer support
greater confidence
improved self-regulation
more consistent values language
healthier attitudes towards challenge

These changes frequently extend well beyond PE into classrooms, playgrounds and daily school life.

Impact Beyond Sport

The programme contributes to positive cultural shifts, including:

stronger pupil voice and leadership
deeper reflection and emotional awareness
better inclusion and belonging
more positive communication and behaviour

Staff often note improved relationships across year groups and a more consistent whole-school ethos.

Supporting School Vision

Project Touchline helps move values from wall displays into everyday reality. Through sport, worship and relationships, schools strengthen their Christian distinctiveness and overall culture.

Lasting Legacy

Schools frequently continue with:

prayer clubs and prayer spaces
reflective practices and stillness
strengthened worship traditions
their own symbolic prayer boats

These elements help sustain positive culture long after the programme ends.

Working In Partnership

Project Touchline collaborates closely with headteachers, RE and PE leads, chaplains, clergy and diocesan teams — supporting staff as well as pupils.

What Headteachers Say

“Values became visible, not just displayed on walls.”
— Headteacher

“Project Touchline has had an incredible impact on our school community… The legacy will continue to shape the way future generations engage with sport and with each other.”
