Aims and Objectives

with Churches Partnering , Serving the Schools

What We Do

PACE employs schools workers who partner with local churches to provide excellent learning opportunities in schools so that every student can ask their biggest questions, explore the Christian faith and investigate the life and claims of Jesus. We serve primary and secondary schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole with assemblies, lessons, lunch clubs and other activities.

PACE also employs pastoral supervisors to deliver individual professional supervision for pastoral care workers in schools who offer essential practical support for students, their families and the staff. In addition, supervision is provided for members of senior leadership teams in some schools, including head teachers and designated safeguarding leads.

Our Vision for Schools
----- End of picture text -----

These are the things we would love to be able to do for EVERY SCHOOL :

ASSEMBLIES/LESSONS... Help every student hear something about Jesus from people who know him 6 times a year in their assemblies and/or through regular lessons.

CHURCH LINKS... Identify at least one local church community that is regularly and positively connecting with the school in various ways.

EVERY SECONDARY SCHOOL we would also love to: In addition to this, in

LESSONS... Provide regular lessons where students have the chance to learn about Christianity from Christians.

CLUBS... Run a weekly lunch club where students can have fun, ask big questions and say what they think.

On the supervision side, our vision is to see pastoral care workers and senior leadership teams receive the professional support and encouragement they need, as well as the space to reflect in depth on the content and process of their work and on good practice.

Review of Goals set in 2024-2025

The Trustees and Staff of PACE set goals for the academic year 2024-2025 and they were as follows:

The Trustees of PACE are pleased to say that all the goals set were met or partially met.

In October Phil Cole and Aldina Taylor were appointed as Trustees to take the number of Trustees up to 6. We were able to deliver transitions lessons in 9 schools, one short of our anticipated number and there were various reasons for the fact that we could not get the final school signed up.

The Church Champions Scheme was developed and by the year end there were 10 signed up to take part in this scheme. A library of resources is being developed, although still in its infancy, and this will be continued in the academic year 2025-2026. The External Review was conducted and the findings reported to Staff and Trustees in September 2024. The Reviewer reported that there was much to commend PACE for, and the review helped the organisation to focus on what it felt its core activities should be.

Schools Work: Primary Schools
----- End of picture text -----

It has been another encouraging year for PACE in primary schools across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP). As in the academic year 2023-2024 there were two primary workers, a full-time worker covering BCP schools, and a part-time worker focusing specifically on Poole primaries. The Poole worker has continued to be very effective in growing links with Poole churches and their leaders through personal contact and attending ministers’ gatherings. She has also been involved with some of the Secondary work and shared her previous experience as a Headteacher at a PACE Pastoral Network meeting.

By the end of the academic year 328 primary assemblies were delivered and 81 RE lessons (including 17 new lesson plans for this year). In total, 53 different schools were visited, mostly half-termly. This compares to last year’s figures of 301 assemblies, 61 lessons in 52 schools. A regular Big Questions lunchtime club was held at a school in Poole. Two new connections have been established with the First and Middle Schools in Broadstone.

PACE has been given encouraging opportunities to partner with local churches. There were opportunities to co-host Messy Harvest, Christingle sessions, Explore the Nativity and Easter experience events in Poole churches. One Bournemouth church was supported in making significant progress in building links with, and welcoming visits from, a new town-centre school.

“There is immense value in (PACE visits). The children are always engaged by the content and delivery and want to ask so many questions. The fact that the children have listened so intently that they have a vast range of questions is evidence that they are exploring Christianity and how it fits with their own, developing beliefs.”

“The contents of the assemblies are excellent. They are very well ‘pitched’ at a completely appropriate level. They appeal to all - those of different faiths and beliefs. The content is delivered in an engaging way, often with the aid of visual props.” Ashlie McCammon - Stourfield Junior School

“It puts God’s word into real life contexts and is shared in such an accessible way for children.”

7

The Year 6 transition workshop called ‘Moving Up’ has been developed in more schools. This year we served nine schools during June and helped approximately 600 pupils to prepare for the move to Secondary School. Teams were assembled for each of these 90-minute workshops to enable small group work to be done effectively.

These teams included members of the wider PACE schools and pastoral teams, PACE volunteers and 13 workers from 11 local churches. As such it was an excellent example of partnership, and some of these church workers have expressed an interest in being more involved with their local schools in the future.

Each pupil received a copy of the updated ‘It’s Your Move’ booklet published by Scripture Union, the cost for which was funded by a grant and several local churches donating to the cause. Encouraging feedback was received from the schools we visited, some of which have already asked to book us in for a return visit next year.

“The session was not only informative but also empowering. It gave our Year 6 pupils a safe space to share their feelings, listen to others, and realise that they are not alone in how they feel. The PACE team helped them see that while change can be challenging, it’s also full of opportunity and growth.”

PACE thanks God for open doors in primary schools and enthusiastic learners across BCP.

Schools Work: Secondary Schools
----- End of picture text -----

This year, PACE delivered a total of 237 lessons across 15 secondary schools, covering a wide range of topics. The RS lessons included topics such as: The Bible, Jesus and Salvation, The Afterlife, Worship and Baptism, Church and Community, Worldviews, Christianity and Humanism, Who is Jesus?, The Value of Life, Creation and Stewardship, Vocations, Does God Exist?, Who Killed Jesus?, Game Changers, Two Lost Sons, PACE Right and Wrong, An Introduction to Christianity, and Christmas. continued to deliver the lesson in Drug Awareness in schools in partnership with Teen Challenge.

There were several new lessons developed this year and these included topics such as: Vocations (exploring careers in the context of God’s purpose for our lives), Creation and Stewardship (connecting care for creation with relationship with God), Game Changers (highlighting followers of Jesus who made a lasting impact), and Worldviews (unpacking four big questions we all ask ourselves). A new PSHE lesson was also delivered on Gaming and Gambling (examining the connection between them, the role of dopamine, and biblical wisdom on the issue).

These new lessons opened doors into schools that PACE was already connected with, as well as helping to gain fresh opportunities in schools where PACE had not previously worked.

“These assemblies get the children to think more critically about themselves and how they can act/change to make the world a more loving and accepting place. They ask Big Questions in an easy way.” Matthew Cameron - Springdale First School

PACE delivered 52 assemblies in 5 secondary schools, on topics including: Tolerance, Friendship, Interfaith Week, Two Lost Sons, Random Acts of Kindness, Christmas, Gentleness, Generosity, and Easter. As well as this, one school requested that PACE lead a special day of Easter talks for students as part of their Easter services.

This year, PACE ran Big Questions clubs (at lunchtimes or after school) in 5 schools and carried out detached work in 2 others trying to engage students informally through games and conversations during their break or lunchtime. In the spring term, an after-school Youth Alpha course was delivered in one school, which was a real highlight. Working with local youth leaders and volunteers, we welcomed 20 students and one person made the personal decision to begin a relationship with God.

In total, PACE has recruited and trained around 15 different volunteers this year, including several church youth leaders, who are actively encouraged not only to get involved but to take a lead in the clubs wherever possible.

‘Quality teaching. Accessible and entertaining story telling and presenting. Universal values but containing the Gospel message.’ Paul Ruffle - St John’s Primary School

During the year the Schools Work Team produced several new video resources for schools with titles including: God and Suffering, Interfaith Week, Christmas – The Giver is the Gift, Random Acts of Kindness, Dopamine (for the Gaming and Gambling lesson), and Jack’s Story (for the Drug Awareness lesson). These videos received over 16,500 views on YouTube, expanding our reach to new schools both within and beyond the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.

Two church youth leaders led the Live it! Tell it! training resource in their own church settings to help equip young PACE people to grow in confidence in sharing their faith. continues to work in partnership with Agapé UK to develop the resource further, and while wider rollout is still in progress, several local groups have now used it—including

groups across the Southwest.

This year also saw the launch of the Student Area of the PACE website. This new section gives secondary students a space to explore the PACE videos, discover more about Jesus, find a local youth group, or browse the Big Questions section—featuring thoughtful content on questions students often ask us.

In addition, the schools team and volunteers have been developing STAR (Schools Work Training and Resources) – a new video-based resource for training volunteers in schools work. These short training videos will be made available more widely next year through a new sign-up area on the PACE website.

“The quality of lessons and the style of delivery is always great. Dave fully understands our school and our students. Dave is always available to offer clarity and advice when staff need it.”

Claire Jones – St Aldhelm’s Academy

Pastoral Supervision Work
----- End of picture text -----

PACE This year has demonstrated in lots of different ways that Supervision being offered to Pastoral Support Workers (PSWs) and Senior Leadership Teams (SLTs) is essential. Although Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Children’s Services has gone from being rated as “inadequate” in 2021 to “good” in late 2024 by Ofsted, Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are still under immense pressure with open social work cases. The DSLs, PSWs, Principals, Vice Principals, Pastoral Leads, Family Liaison Officers and other staff with safeguarding responsibilities appreciate the confidential nature of the supervision PACE offers and the fact that PACE is independent and not going to report back to senior managers of schools.

The PACE Pastoral Supervision Team (PST) works in 33 schools in the BCP area: with 22 PSWs and 32 members of SLT. The majority of schools that PACE works in are grouped into six Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). The biggest MAT is Authentic Education Trust, which has 15 schools: covering primary, secondary PACE and special education. has been very fortunate in being awarded the Authentic Education supervision contract for the 2025-2026 academic year.

“The networking makes a huge difference because I’m not only learning from other professionals, but I also realise I’m not alone in this crazy journey, that is working in education.” School Pastoral Support Worker, Inset Day 2025

“ PACE is so useful and helpful to me. The staff are friendly, kind and knowledgeable.” School Pastoral Support Worker, Inset Day 2025

“The PACE supervision is valuable, the role of PSW/DDSL can be so isolating.” School Pastoral Support Worker, Inset Day 2025

11

As well as supervision, PACE also offers 5 Network events and an Inset Training Day as part of the package offered to PSWs. Many PSWs gather once a half term to network with each other and receive relevant training for their roles in schools. The PST decided to extend the invitation to other pastoral staff in Authentic Education schools for the network event on ‘Self-Harm’. This network was very popular, and the PST has decided to make all the networks in the 2025-2026 academic year available to the Authentic safeguarding staff. Topics will include the impact of social media on children, conflict management and resolution in schools, coaching strategies for use with parents and the impact of domestic abuse on children.

The Inset Day this year was on the topic of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), which was a topic requested by the PSWs. The focus was not only on why children attend school but on a large group of children who feel they cannot attend school. School Attendance has become a national problem with the Department for Education figures showing that in 2024-2025, in England, approximately 117,100 children were missing from education, with 6.9% of pupils (1.28 million) being persistently absent from school. The PST is equipped and able to support staff who are under immense pressure to raise attendance figures.

to find out the real issue or reason to why the child

Partnership with Local churches

PACE This has continued to grow over the past year, and Staff have been able to take services at several new churches and speak at mid-week groups about the work. Set the PACE breakfasts for church leaders and those in churches who want to know more about PACE are delivered twice a year in October and May.

There is a prayer meeting for Trustees, Staff and Supporters on Zoom six times a year and a newsletter called PACE News , which goes out six times a year to all those on the mailing list. At the request of some supporters PACE was asked to provide a list of schools they are working in each day and so in September 2024 the PACE Prayer Letter was formed and goes out on the 1[st] of each month, so that people can pray very specifically for the work on that day. Along with these two email publications there are regular update videos sent to local churches and individuals.

Special Events

In September 2024, the PACE sponsored prayer walk (from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head) took place again and this raised over £2,000 for the work of PACE . It was a hot day, but all those who PACE in attended were able to pray for the work of schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. It was great to have a mix of PACE Staff, Trustees and Supporters attend this event.

The PACE Carol Service continues to be popular and in December 2024 PACE organised another service, which is a good opportunity to update our supporters and to inform potential new supporters of the schools work in the area. There were people from several local churches attending and we had a group from one of these churches leading the carols.

By popular demand the PACE quiz evening was run again in March 2025 and numbers at the event were good with around 70 attendees this year. This enabled us to raise more funds and to update people on the work in schools over the previous two terms.

The Cream Tea was the event organised in June 2025 held in St Paul’s church grounds. The Staff and Trustees of PACE are very grateful to St Paul’s Church, Throop, for allowing us to use their premises and supporting our work in many ways.

Moving Forward

The following objectives have been highlighted for the 2025-2026 academic year:

Financial Review

We are pleased to report that the total income for the year to 31st August 2025 increased by 11% to £169,477 (2024: £152,616). Expenses increased by 7.7% to £161,792 (2024: £150,222). There was a revenue surplus of £7,685 (2024: £2,394 surplus).

The total donations from individuals of £84,255 was 30% higher this year (2024: £64,696) and represented 50% of the total income. Donations from local churches increased by 17% to £25,042 (2024: £21,329). We were also very grateful to receive grants from three Charitable Trusts during the year totalling £24,000 (2024: £34,000). No legacies were received in 2024/25.

Fundraising Events 1.5% (£2,518)

From Schools (for supervision of Pastoral Staff) 12% (£20,120)

Misc: (Sale of asset, Live it! Tell it!, books, Barclay card, interest) 0.5% (£942)

We continue to be very thankful to everyone who prays regularly for our work, all those who support us financially and everyone who volunteers to work with us in various ways. The increased level of income this year from individuals and churches has enabled us to extend our work in primary and secondary schools and develop new lesson materials which have been very well received.

Grants from Charitable Trusts made it possible for us to expand the provision of ‘Moving Up!’ workshops this year, to help Year 6 pupils in 9 schools (2024: 5 schools) as they prepared to move to secondary school. They also funded special training sessions for volunteers, the expansion of Live It! Tell It! workshops and other initiatives.

Some of the income from schools each year, for professional supervision of their pastoral care workers and members of their senior leadership teams, overlaps the financial year end. Fees paid in advance in 2024 (£17,352) were brought forward into 2024/25 and the additional income from schools for supervision carried out in 2024/25 was £3,456. The balance of £16,664 was received from schools for 2025/26. Our Pastoral Support Manager and four Supervisors provided our support package to 54 staff in 33 schools at a reduced rate as part of our public benefit activities.

Efforts have continued to be made to raise the profile of PACE in local churches through regular newsletters, increased speaking opportunities and update videos which have been very well received. This year 69% (£112,413) of the total expenses of £161,792 was used to employ two full-time and two parttime Schools Workers and 14% (£22,346) to employ five part-time Pastoral Care Supervisors. We used 16% (£25,561) for our part-time Director, Administrator and Bookkeeper, and general office expenses including printing and insurance. The remaining 1% (£1,472) was for publicity, capital and software, courses and training.

Governance and Management

The Trustees have taken note of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are aware of the need for tight financial controls and the responsible management of all resources. The policies and procedures of the Charity are agreed at quarterly meetings of the Trustees, and the activities and general running of the charity are agreed at regular meetings which are attended by Trustees and the Director.

The Trustees have been recruited from local churches, and this year two new trustees have been appointed. All the Trustees have given of their time freely, receiving no remuneration or expenses in the year. In January 2024 the Trustees commissioned a review of the work of PACE and this was conducted by an external consultant. The results were published in September 2024, and some minor changes were made to how PACE conducts work in schools. One of the Trustees now has a regular item on the Trustee agenda for any changes in the legal implications of running a charity and all Trustees have completed a Safeguarding Course specifically for Trustees.

In September 2024, the current PACE Director informed the Trustees that she would be retiring in September 2025 and so the recruitment process to appoint a new Director was started in April 2025.

Trustees examine the Risk Register at each Board meeting to make sure that risks are identified and mitigated against.

Reserves Policy

It is PACE policy to retain between 2- 4 months’ running costs so for 2024-2025 £36,800 (2023: £34,800) has been designated for this purpose. The Trustees are satisfied that this is sufficient.

There have been no related party transactions during the year.
