Pupil Pathways – Headline Conference Sponsors at National Association for Pastoral Care in Education annual conference

Pupil Pathways are delighted to announce that we are the headline sponsors at this year’s National Association for Pastoral Care in Education (NAPCE) annual conference. This will take place on October 10th, 2025, at Worcestershire County Cricket Club. Click here for further information. 

NAPCE was founded in 1982 to establish links between education professionals and allied agencies who have an interest in pastoral care and personal-social education and the welfare of students of all ages in schools. 

In addition, Pupil Pathways are sponsoring one of the awards. The Outstanding Contribution to Pastoral Care. This will go to a person, group or organisation that has made a real difference for the benefit of young people in the area of pastoral care. We wish all those shortlisted well as the judges make their decision. Further information on the awards evening can be found on the NAPCE website. Tickets are still available. 

Brendan Nel, CEO and founder of Pupil Pathways said 

“Collaboration between schools and the professionals who support them is one of our founding principles. It is therefore a privilege to be associated with NAPCE who have a long history of promoting links across the different sectors in this field. Together we hope to make real differences to help ensure no learner is left behind.” 

Phil Jones, National Chair, The National Association for Pastoral Care in Education. (NAPCE) added

NAPCE is pleased to be working in partnership with Pupil Pathways as the sponsors of our 2025 National Conference. Effective pastoral care and support makes a huge difference to the learning experience and future life chances of children and young people. The conference provides staff working with children and young people with quality professional development with inspirational speakers, sharing good practice and the opportunity to network with other people who want to make a difference.
