“For four years, the first London school, known as St Mary’s Bryanston Square, has benefited immensely from this initiative, discovered via X. My aim was to deepen our children and staff’s understanding of our Christian values and their daily application. From the outset, Chris’s passionate leadership inspired everyone. The program’s tailored approach links our values to sport, making them relatable.”

“Weekly Collective Worship sessions ground these values in biblical teachings, followed by an optional lunchtime prayer club that many students join, often continuing with our church youth worker. The tag rugby sessions, led by Chris’s expert coaching with pupils from St Mary’s Bryanston Square, engage students and enhance teachers’ skills, connecting PE to our school’s vision. The final video showcases the joy and compassion fostered. As we enter our fifth year, Project Touchline’s impact—seen in our students’ enthusiasm and values—remains profound. I highly recommend this transformative program.”

Lee Duffy, Headteacher at St Mary’s Bryanston Square
